Data was gathered from a sample of 507 engineers, comprising men and women, with an age range of 29 to 45 (M = 33.48, SD =6.8 ) years using a correlational study. Purposive sampling was used to choose the participants, from Private and public sector engineers-specific characteristics. A demographic sheet, the Spiritual Transcendence Index (STI) to evaluate spirituality, the Psychological Capital Scale (PCS) to measure psychological capital, and the Individual Work Performance (IWP) scale to measure workplace performance were the evaluation tools utilized in the study.
