To this end, the study utilized a descriptive and verification approach in which the data were collected from 132 respondents using the interviews, questionnaires and surveys. The respondents were chosen by using saturated or census sampling techniques. Then, the collected data were analyzed by using path analysis with SPSS 24.0 software. The results showed that of all the analyzed research variables, the criteria were quite high. Work spirituality and job satisfaction showed a significant effect on employee loyalty. The findings also indicated that the employees who feel the spiritual values at the workplace tend to stay in the organization.
