A Change Leadership and Management Research Discussion and Analysis on the Religiosity and Spirituality in Philosophical Organizations: The Sustainability Case of Religious Freedom and the Satanic Temple

Abstract

Organizations and Governments need to critically experience the change management processes to understand and build planned organizational change models. Throughout these processes, religiosity and spirituality play a pivotal role in broadening our scientific understanding about the key philosophies of sustainable change leadership. This study builds onto these arguments while presenting a strong case of religious liberties, especially through the lens of The Satanic Temple (TST) alongside contextualizing the application of change.The manuscript successfully delineated the process of change management and philosophical sustainability by conducting large scale literature reviews and theoretical analyses characterized by micro and macro understandings of a variety of contextual variables and research ideas. Broadly, these included exploring the boundaries of political pressures and human rights, investigating the different perspectives of engines of change in society, bridging the gaps between political and socio-legal viewpoints of religiosity and spirituality, analyzing key roles played by TST in business and society, considering multiple outlooks of effective change communication in organizations and governments, and eventually examining the sustainability dimensions of effective change management.
