The Impact of Workplace Spirituality on Job Embeddedness by Using the Moderating Role of Psychological Ownership An Analytical Study of the Opinions of a Sample of Employees at the Northern Technical University/ Nineveh

This study aims to measure and analyse the impact of workplace spirituality represented by meaningful work, a sense of community, and alignment between individual and organisational values on job embeddedness, which includes fit, connections, and sacrifice. Additionally, the study examines the moderating role of psychological ownership, represented by self-efficacy, accountability, belonging, and self-identity, in this relationship. The descriptive analytical method was employed to explore the phenomenon under study, with the questionnaire as the primary data collection tool. The sample consisted of 297 individuals from Northern Technical University. Data analysis was conducted using several statistical techniques, including reliability analysis, internal consistency testing, and regression analysis, with the support of AMOS and SPSS software. The key findings revealed a significant direct impact of workplace spirituality on job embeddedness. Furthermore, the study highlighted the potential of psychological ownership to enhance the strength of this relationship at the university. Based on these conclusions, recommendations were proposed to improve the current state of these variables and the nature of their interaction within the university context.
