Abstract

Healthcare setting is fraught with ethical dilemmas requiring healthcare professionals to deviate from organizational policies and norms for quality of healthcare services. Healthcare professionals lacking strong moral and spiritual basis may find it difficult to deal with such ethical dilemmas. This study has advanced the existing research on prosocial behaviors by investigating a mediation mechanism to explain how spirituality at work may strengthen the role of healthcare professionals’ moral conviction in PSRB in healthcare settings. The data were obtained from 315 professionals serving in healthcare organizations in Pakistan. The statistical results demonstrated clear support for the significant mediating role of spirituality at work between moral conviction and prosocial rule breaking. This study highlighted the importance of spirituality at work as social as well as psychological capital for healthcare professionals to deal with ethical dilemmas.
