Περιγραφή
Σύνοψη:In recent times, there has been a shift in the management literature toward embracing spirituality in the workplace. Much of this literature promulgates the idea that spiritual individuals are moral and therefore, valuable ethical assets to any organization. However, there is negligible research validating this claim. As part of a larger study, this research investigated how spirituality influenced ethical behavior in a variety of work contexts. This was based on a critical realist methodology, semi-structured interviews with 31 highly spiritual cases and a thematic analysis of 80 ethical incidents. It found participants' spirituality was manifested through an awareness of others that guided and enabled them to act in authentically ethical ways that transcended organizational conditions. When participants reported doing this, they felt increased well-being; when they were unable to enact their spirituality, they suffered a variety of negative feelings. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of these findings.
