Workplace ethics (Occupational Ethics) is an emerging issue of the times. When working hours continue to prolong, work relationships continue to complicate, work values continue to be disintegrated due to diversity, and the continuous innovation of technology at work subverts inherent behavior patterns. In chaos of disagreement, the thinking and dialogue of workplace ethics is meeting the needs of this era and helping people to find the greatest common divisor of interests and well-being. Since the 20th century, the tide of capitalism's consequentialism and the pursuit of maximum profit has been hitting and submerging the entire world of work. People are confused about how to find the real meaning and value of work. This is a construction that requires the help of inner life experience. Among them, the promotion of Workplace Spirituality is a good choice, because its purpose is to help workers realize the inner spiritual meaning of work, spread a sense of harmony, and get the whole workplace community to be inspired.
