The purpose of this study is to determine how spirituality impacts the lives of people who currently have or have had (now retired) full-time work experience. The first step was to review research on the effects of spirituality on organizations, managers, and the workplace. The study methods employed include the results of interviews after interviewees had completed a one-page modified six-item intrinsic spirituality scale. Possible variances between males and females on the questionnaire were tested, potential differences between people of different races were assessed, and possible distinctions between people of different religions were computed. The findings suggest the prominence of intrinsic spirituality in the workplace does indeed function as a person’s master motive. An interesting level of significance was discovered between males and females (p = .001257). Females exhibited a much higher level of spirituality.
