This study focused on workplace spirituality an intrinsic factor as a determinant of organizational commitment although most recent studies on organizational commitment have focused mostly on the extrinsic rewards such remuneration, training opportunities, promotion and other tangible monetary benefits as predictors of organizational commitment. Employees are viewed as one of the most important assets for most organizations, in particular service-based organizations like universities because of the benefits of delivering successful performances. It was therefore important to investigate whether workplace spirituality affects employee commitment. This survey study was a form of a cross-section study where both descriptive and correlational research designs were used. The study targeted all the academic staff in the public and private universities in Kenya. Stratified sampling was used where sixteen universities were selected followed by simple random sampling to select both representative department and staff from the selected departments. Data for the study was collected by administering a 25-item questionnaire to a sample of 347 academic. A total of 282 questionnaires were returned and analysis was done with the help of SPSS. Correlation and regression analysis results showed there was a significant positive relationship between workplace spirituality and organizational commitment.
