“…It is an inner experience of an individual who, by connecting with others and with a higher power, discover the meaning and purpose in life (Rust and Gabriels, 2011). This viewpoint is backed by Nandram (2016), who concluded that underlying spirituality is a process of harmonisation with the self, with the environment and belief in a transcendent power originating in higher levels of consciousness. The author acknowledged that when we define spirituality in terms of attitudes, behaviours or practices from the inner self, then it is possible to examine it as part of the management science.…”

“…The author acknowledged that when we define spirituality in terms of attitudes, behaviours or practices from the inner self, then it is possible to examine it as part of the management science. Therefore, spirituality is an emerging theme in the social sciences and in particular in the field of management (Balog et al , 2014; Shinde and Shinde, 2011; Nandram, 2016).…”

“…As acknowledged by Godwin et al (2016), there is a gap in the literature concerning the investigation of how the integration of spirituality and self-leadership might influence entrepreneurial behaviour. Indeed, the relationship between spirituality and entrepreneurship seems unusual but there are reasons to address this issue (Nandram, 2016).…”

“…Spirituality forms the foundation for major values and beliefs that influence how entrepreneurs perceive and approach events (Godwin et al , 2016). Deeper motivations based on visions, dreams, passion, creativity, courage and intuition are intangible capacities inherent to entrepreneurial processes (Nandram, 2016) that could be enhanced by core beliefs, values and assumptions anchored in one’s spirituality.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the role of spirituality and emotional intelligence in understanding creativity, attitudes towards entrepreneurship, perceived behavioural control (PBC) and entrepreneurial intention of students of a Portuguese higher education institution. A conceptual model is proposed representing direct and indirect relationships among these constructs. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative approach was adopted in the form of a survey questionnaire applied to a sample of 345 university students. To test the hypothesised relationships between the constructs, the authors used the path analysis technique. Findings Results show that personal attitudes towards entrepreneurship and PBC have a positive effect on entrepreneurial intention, and mediate the effect of emotional intelligence on entrepreneurial intention. Emotional intelligence has a direct positive effect on creativity. The results reveal no or a tenuous influence of spirituality in the various concepts studied. Practical implications It is expected that the model can serve as a support for facilitating and promoting entrepreneurship in higher education environments. It could be of valuable use to furthering our understanding of the role of individual/psychological characteristics, motivational and attitudinal factors in fostering entrepreneurial intention of university students. Originality/value Some studies suggest that psychological factors play an essential role in developing alternative models to the entrepreneurial process. However, the studies that directly explore how individual differences in emotional intelligence, spirituality and creativity relate to entrepreneurial intention are relatively few.

“…This paper seeks to contribute to that call. Existing literature has variously attested, for example, to the relationship between spirituality and sustainability (Stead and Stead, 2014;Suriyankietkaew and Kantamara, 2019), enhanced stakeholder relationships (Bandsuch and Cavanagh, 2005;Steingard, 2005), and HRM outcomes (Weicht et al, 2016), as well as emerging evidence of more effective entrepreneurship and innovation (Nandram, 2016;Neubert et al, 2017). There is also a strong body of evidence that spirituality at work can contribute to the resource base of organizations that results in enhanced organizational performance indicators (Belwalkar et al, 2018;Mahmood et al, 2018).…”

The Light and the Dark of Mindful Social Capital: Right Mindfulness and Social Capital Development

Despite the literatures on spirituality and social capital development remaining largely disconnected, we address how right mindfulness encourages organizational-level social capital. We connect the philosophical foundations of 'right mindfulness' to bonding and bridging social capital, and the structural, relational and cognitive dimensions of social capital. We conclude that a skilful approach to right mindfulness, coupled with organizational learning heuristics, has much to offer the conversation on social capital development, and yet its potential has not been fully recognized. Despite this promise, we draw attention to a 'dark side' to the co-optation by organizations of mindfulness practices and draw some further boundary conditions. We argue that a secular interpretation of right mindfulness limits its potential in organizational contexts. We conclude with managerial implications and pathways for future research.

The relationship of types of intuition to thinking styles, beliefs, and cognitions

We argue that intuition is a multifaceted construct, a single label applied to three distinct types of intuition: Holistic, Inferential, and Affective. The goals of this study were to (1) evaluate the independence of these types of intuition and (2) examine the relationships between each type and various thinking styles, beliefs, and cognitions.Results confirmed the distinction among of the types of intuition and established their differential relationships to other relevant constructs including need for cognition, rumination, religiosity, spirituality, conservatism, cognitive reflection, scientific reasoning, and bullshit receptivity. Affective intuition was associated with participants' religious and political beliefs and with lower levels of cognitive reflection and scientific reasoning. Holistic intuition was positively associated with thinking styles such as need for cognition and the propensity to ruminate. Inferential intuition was not strongly related to any of the measures used in this study, perhaps because our tasks did not rely on domain expertise. The results of this study have implications for theory about intuition and on the applications of intuition in areas such as in judgment and decision-making.
