The purpose of this conceptual paper is to explore the interrelationship between workplace spirituality (WPS), intrinsic motivation (IM) and employee engagement (EE) in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector. In order to propose a mediation model between the constructs of the paper, the paper incorporates the three theories of Self-Determination Theory (SDT), the Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory, and the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) model. In high-pressure, compliance-driven environments like the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry, meaning-centred, purpose-driven work cultures could have a significant impact. Drawing on the existing theoretical and empirical literature, the paper concludes that the spiritually enriched environment (SWE), as a construct, is defined by the presence of meaningful work, sense of community, personal and organizational values, and compassionate ethical practices; and that these factors are linked to the development of intrinsic motivation which consequently leads to increased levels of engagement. Five testable hypotheses and a conceptual framework are proposed to help in the future empirical research in this field.
