This study attempts to link the concept of spirituality at work and subjective happiness, which is a facet of well-being. The role of grateful disposition is also examined by incorporating gratitude as a moderator Method: Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from high school teachers working with government schools in the southern region of India. Hypothesised relationships were tested using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) Results: Results reveal significant relationships between workplace spirituality, subjective happiness, and gratitude. Gratitude was also found to be a significant moderator, which exercised a positive influence on the workplace spirituality-happiness relationship. Conclusion: The study has contributed to the evolving literature on workplace spirituality by elucidating its relationship with positive psychology. Workplace spirituality could play a significant role in building substantial happiness for individuals in the long run. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.adultarticlefemalegovernmenthappinesshigh schoolhumanhuman experimentIndiamalepartial least squares regressionreligionstructural equation modelingstructured questionnaireteacherwellbeingworkplaceemotionlatent class analysispsychologyquestionnaireschool teacherAdultEmotionsFemaleHappinessHumansLatent Class AnalysisMaleSchool TeachersSpiritualitySurveys and QuestionnairesWorkplace
