Despite the extensive literature on the linkages of workplace spirituality to individual outcomes like well-being and commitment, there is a lack of exploration into the behavioural and knowledge-related outcomes of workplace spirituality. In the same vein, knowledge sharing and organisational learning culture have often been studied together; however, prior literature has considered the former as the antecedent of the latter. This study fills these gaps through the development and testing of a proposed model wherein Workplace Spirituality predicts Knowledge-Sharing Behaviour, which, in turn, predicts Organisational Learning Culture, with the former serving as the mediating variable between Workplace Spirituality and Organisational Learning Culture. The data collected from 200-250 working professionals was subjected to PLS-SEM analysis. The results revealed that Workplace Spirituality significantly predicts Knowledge-Sharing Behaviour (β = .445, p < .001), which, in turn, significantly predicts Organisational Learning Culture (β = .466, p < .001). Additionally, the mediating role of Knowledge-Sharing Behaviour in the Workplace Spirituality-Organisational Learning Culture relationship was significant (indirect effect β = .208, p < .001). Finally, the direct effect of Workplace Spirituality on Organisational Learning Culture was significant too (β = .192, p = .043).
