Abstract
Purpose
The present article focuses on the role of stress and work from home and their influence on the frequency of praying (spirituality) and attending ritual services (religiosity).
Design/Methodology/Approach
Drawing from a dataset from Understanding Society (COVID-19 study) in UK from 5,357 participants, the present work specifies a two-level mixed-effects ordered-probit regression to test the main hypotheses and chi-square (x2) analysis, gamma (γ) and tau-b (τb) for checking
the robustness of our results.
Findings
Our findings exhort with statistical confidence that spirituality is positively related to religiosity. Working from home positively influences individuals’ spiritual and religious needs, while attending religious services in person is associated with less stress. Females have been
found more likely to pray rather than attend religious services.
Originality/Value
The present work investigates the role of work from home and stress on spirituality and religiosity, two key elements often forgotten in personal life and copying. We consider spirituality as the frequency of praying, while religiosity is the frequency of attending rituals,
which religion has institutionalised.
