“…The independent variables: gender and firm size were binary coded. For the purpose of multivariate analysis as multiple regression, analysis of variance or factor analysis, the data were transformed into frequencies and standardized [20,24,26]. Statistical methods comprised descriptive statistics, point estimation, confidence intervals, hypotheses verification and multivariate analyses.…”

“…In addition, most of the published studies are related to business competencies of employees in developed, mature economies [39,40]. In contrast, studies about business competencies in transition economies at individual level are rare [20,26,31]. Few existing studies on business competencies in transition economies concluded that there are no substantial differences among female and male workers in east-north European countries [1,2,22,34].…”

“…It is quite possible, based on fragile human capital framework [20,25,26,27] that studies about business competencies in transition economies in small regional companies might produce different results than previous similar studies conducted in the context of developed economies [20,23,26,31].…”

“…The knowledgebased organization development in transition economies requires information systems (IS) and human resources with productive knowledge workers consisting of IT users and IT professionals [12,28,30,31]. However, business competencies within transition economies are often lower than in other economies [26,29,31]. The higher level of business competence can be achieved at individual level by its self-assessment in relation to requirements of social and business environment.…”

“…Thanks to the skills that constitute spiritual sensitivity, Man pursues life's goals effectively, solves problems creatively, and copes with life's tasks [Emmons 2000]. It is not surprising that the issue of spiritual sensitivity, including its diagnosis, may be relevant to many areas of life, especially professional, individual and social [Kowal, Keplinger 2015;Kowal, Keplinger, Mäkiö Sonntag 2016]. A developed spiritual sensitivity is beneficial, not only in relationships between people, but also in the educational, professional and social domains [Zohar and Marshall 2004;Wigglesworth 2003;Korcz 2006;Smith, Katz 2006;Kowal, Gurba 2016;Kowal and Roztocki 2015a;2015b], especially in the sphere of communication [Jasińska-Biliczak, Kowal, Hafner2016;Kuzio 2013].…”

This article outlines the creation of tools to measure spiritual sensitivity -Spiritual Sensitivity Inventory (SSI), starting from the assumptions underlying the source of its creation, through a phase of theoretical analysis of the construct used for development of an experimental method, a quantitative validation of the inventory, ending with a validation of quality, i.e. narrative interviews conducted in order to confirm the theoretical accuracy of the SSI. The authors clarify the construct of spiritual sensitivity, describe a deductive strategy for questionnaire creation, indicate the potential theoretical and methodological problems encountered by psychologists studying spirituality, present a spectrum of validation procedures and their ultimate effect -an accurate and reliable psychometric tool -the Spiritual Sensitivity Inventory. A developed spiritual sensitivity is beneficial not only in relationships between people but also in the educational, professional and social domain. In this light, an accurate and reliable diagnostic tool can be used in a business environment and organization.

Purpose Previous research on the service-oriented organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) of employees has mainly focused on the examination of its driving factors, and has ignored the consequences that it may bring to the workplace. To bridge this research gap, by shifting the focus to the event observers, a double-edged sword model is constructed in the present study, which helps explain whether, when, and why the service-oriented OCB of coworkers is contagious. Methodology Multi-wave data of 239 employees from seven service-oriented companies in the hospitality industry in central and southwestern China were used to support the proposed model. The time-lag method and critical incident techniques were introduced during the data collection stage. OLS regression and the bootstrapping method were employed for hypothesis testing. Findings Drawing on attribution theory, it is argued that the contagion (vs non-contagion) effects of service-oriented OCB work through the dual cognitive pathways (hypocrisy perception vs serving self-efficacy) of observers, which depend on the self-serving attribution of the observers to the behaviors of their coworkers. Specifically, when the self-serving attribution of observers is high, the service-oriented OCB of their coworkers is positively associated with the hypocrisy perception of the observers, which in turn inhibits their own service-oriented OCB. In contrast, when the self-serving attribution of observers is low, the service-oriented OCB of their coworkers is positively associated with the serving self-efficacy of the observers, which in turn promotes their service-oriented OCB. This framework provides a valuable theoretical explanation perspective and empirical evidence for the exploration of how service-oriented OCB affects observers.
