Quality of work life (QWL) is not only one of the most important domains in peoples' lives, but also affects and shapes many of the components of the general/ total quality of life (wellness) of organizational members, as well as other peoples at the community, national, regional and even global levels. There has been ample research studying QWL, but very little attempts have been made to link QWL with general wellness/ well -being. As peoples every where suffer from the many unfortunate and sad crises and outcomes brought by organizations, QWL deserves more intensive and in-depth research, especially examining QWL linkage with whole well -being. This paper attempts to provide a framework of guidelines to help organizations create and develop high QWL that can enhance and promote the welfare, goodness and total wellness, not only of organizational members, but also all other stakeholders and the broader societies at community, national and global levels. Thus, developing and nurturing among organizational members not only good organizational citizenship behavior, but also good national and even global citizenship behavior.
This paper aims to provide a number of insights about the "what", "why", and "how" of workplace/ organizational spirituality, providing a clear and broader conceptualization and themes of the phenomenon. It presents an integrated framework leading towards building and maintaining a spirituality-based workplace. This framework encompasses five "core pillars" or "pathways": (1) organizational culture; (2) organization's mission, vision; (3) leadership; (4) human resource development; and, (5) organization structure and job design. Each can partially contribute to building a spiritual organization. But to build and maintain a truly spiritual organization, it requires to simultaneously and steadily proceed on all "pathways" or fronts".
In searching for quality and competitiveness, a steadily increasing number of governments and businesses have adopted "business excellence models" and "national quality awards" frameworks. Most of these were based on the American, European, Canadian or Japanese models. Organizational excellence is at crossroads today. Performance management systems and business excellence models and frameworks have given little to no consideration for social, environmental, human and ethical dimensions of organizational performance. Moreover, organizations have been confronting many unsurmountable challenges, changes and pressures that make it very necessary to look for an organizational excellence alternative, namely spiritual organization. This paper provides a framework for building spirituality-based organization that can harvest sustained excellence.
