This study explored the relationship between religiosity and contextual work performance and offered empirical evidence for the mediating role of faith at work, meaning making and work engagement. Participants included 246 employees of Orthodox Christian faith, from various occupational domains. A path analysis testing both direct and indirect effects of religiosity, faith at work, meaning making and work engagement on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) was conducted, and the proposed model demonstrated a good fit. The study advances the idea that individual religious beliefs that are upheld and manifested in work settings could generate meaning and sense to work, which further could lead to positive work-related attitudes (i.e., work engagement) and finally to higher reported levels of an aspect of contextual performance (i.e., OCB).
