The purpose of this investigation was to have a better understanding on governmental employees’ attitudes and perceptions towards spirituality in the workplace. The sample for this research was obtained from various governmental agencies in Puerto Rico, specifically from the west area of the island. Only employees who work with the general public on a day to day basis were considered. A questionnaire consisting of 60 items was administered to the participants. The data was analyzed using Factor Analysis and descriptive statistics. The results were compared with the results obtained from a similar study conducted in the United States. It was found that a high percent of the employees are aware of their spirituality and how it affects their lives. It was also found that employees feel as part of a community in the workplace and see a connection between their jobs and the good of society.
