The objective of this research paper is to investigate the negative effects of perceived discrimination in the form of workplace stress on employee innovative work behavior among the female employees working in banking sector of Rawalpindi. Using a time lagged design, the effects of PD and its corresponding stress was tested on IWB, moderated by spirituality. Analyses involved data collected from 170 female’s bankers. The results show that PD was positively related to workplace stress while workplace stress negatively affected IWB. As hypothesized, moderating effects of spirituality on stress to IWB were verified wherein it was proved that spirituality can mitigate the negative impact of stress on IWB. Therefore, we can conclude that fair treatment and better self-esteem improves productivity among employees. The study of moderating influence of Spirituality in Pakistani environment has proved to be a helpful contextual factor in buffering stress and promoting a healthy and productive work environment.
