Abstract:
This study examines the relationship between vision as an element in the emerging theme of ‘workplace
spirituality’, and ‘workers’ commitment’ in Nigeria. In this cross-sectional survey, the data generated
from 235 respondents was analyzed and hypotheses were tested using Regression Analysis. The results of
the study show that there is a positive and significant association between ‘hope’ and the measures of
workers’ commitment, namely: affective, normative and continuance commitment. The study found that
when workers have a clear and compelling vision, it leads to high workers’ affective and normative
commitment, as well as low workers’ continuance commitment.
