Spirituality at Work as a Pathway to Enhance Employee Engagement among Nurses in Malaysia

Employee engagement is a key factor in the success of healthcare organizations in today's competitive environment. However, nurses in Malaysia’s public hospitals often face heavy workloads and staff shortages, which can lead to burnout and disengagement. Previous studies have shown that engagement is important for service quality and employee performance, but few have examined how spirituality at work affects employee engagement among nurses in Malaysia’s healthcare system. Spirituality at work includes aspects such as inner life, meaningful work, and a sense of community is thought to help build psychological resources as well as boost nurses’ energy, dedication, and focus on their roles. This paper aims to expand existing knowledge by looking at the direct relationship between spirituality at work and employee engagement among nurses in Malaysian public hospitals. This study will use a quantitative survey method with self-administered questionnaires, and the collected data will be analyzed with SPSS software Version 26. A total of 375 nurses from public hospitals across Malaysia will be chosen for the study. The research aims to provide valuable insights for healthcare leaders and policymakers in Malaysia, suggesting potential strategies to foster spirituality at work and maintain engagement, which can enhance workforce resilience and the quality of patient care.
