Based on the recent past studies (Ahmad & Omar, 2015; Ke & Deng, 2018; Ghani, Abdullah & Allah, 2018), there are increasing attention from the researchers to examine the workplace spirituality in the organization. This research study sought to study the influences of workplace spirituality (Allen & Meyer , 2000) on organizational commitments among university members in Malaysia. Data of 240 responses were collected and analyzed via partial least squares structural equation modeling to examine both the measurement and structural model.
