Abstract:

This study, which was based on a sample of 235 middle and senior level organizational members,

examined the association between ‘altruistic love’ as an element in the emerging theme of ‘workplace

spirituality’, and ‘workers’ commitment’ in the Nigerian manufacturing industry. The study found that a

culture of altruistic love leads to high workers’ affective and normative commitment, as well as low

workers’ continuance commitment. The study therefore recommends that Nigerian manufacturing

organizations should strive to show devotion to organizational members through acts of benevolence,

care and concern, in order to be assured of their high level of commitment to work.
