ABSTRACT = {This study examined the relationships among workplace spirituality, mindfulness, mental well-being, and organizational commitment in professional female dancers. A total of 424 dancers from the United States participated in the survey. Structural equation modeling indicated that workplace spirituality was positively associated with both mental well-being and organizational commitment, whereas mindfulness was significantly related only to organizational commitment. Mental well-being was a significant predictor of organizational commitment and mediated the relationship between workplace spirituality and organizational commitment, but not between mindfulness and commitment. These results suggest that workplace spirituality functions as a psychological resource that enhances emotional health and strengthens organizational engagement. These findings are consistent with self-determination theory, highlighting the role of value congruence and intrinsic purpose in sustaining motivation in high-performance contexts. Moreover, the study findings underscore the importance of fostering spiritually supportive work environments to promote psychological well-being and long-term organizational commitment.},
