The Concerns
of Intergroup Behaviour Are Such That Are Focused on Strengthening Workplace
Relationships,
And Ensuring Cohesion Within the Organization. Effective Organizations Are Such
That Manifest Systemic Features and The Integration of Functions, Levels and Groups. Given The
Possible Implications of Groupings Based on Religion and Other Related Spirituality Practices on
The Perceptions and Self-Categorization of Individuals, This Paper Empirically Addressed the
Relationship Between Workplace Spirituality and Positive Intergroup Behaviour in Public
Organizations Situated in Baylesa State, Nigeria. A Correlational Design Was Adopted and Data
Generated Using the Structured Questionnaire From 6 Public Organizations. Findings Affirm to
The Manifestations and Relationship Between Workplace Spirituality and Positive Intergroup
Behaviour (Intergroup Trust, Collaboration and Support). It Was Concluded That Workplace
Spirituality Offers, Within the Framework of The Organization, A Favourable Disposition Towards
Other Groups – Necessitated Most Likely by The Overarching Values of The Organization and
The Shared Identity of Organizational Membership.
