Investigating the Role of Spirituality, Resurrection and Transformational Leadership on the Spiritual Organization

Abstract

Reviewing literature, it becomes clear that the organizations are trying to promote the welfare of their employees in addition to make money. In reality, new paradigms emphasize on the traditional methods instead of use of concepts such as spiritual organization, value -based organization, transformational leadership and cooperative work groups. All religions emphasize on faith in God and many tribes believe in futurity. On the other hand, the environment of government organizations is not suitable for the employees' improvement because of their bad management performance. The aim of the current experiment is to investigate the role of spirituality, Resurrection and transformational leadership in order to achieve an extensive model. This is a qualitative-based survey in which the population includes some management experts and high managers of the country. Data was gathered using interview-based research and laboratory studies. From the results, this is to say that Resurrection is one of the key aspects of the spiritual framework. Having faith in Resurrection causes the people to abstain from statesmanship, increase their calmness, self-control, serve as an example for others, be firm during the adversities.

Sustainable and non-sustainable consumer behavior in young adults

“…One study suggests a trend among young adults toward believing (spirituality) but away from belonging (religiosity) (Hamer, 2004). However, many studies do not distinguish between religiosity and spirituality, but use the terms interchangeably (Ali Sarlak et al, 2012). However, some studies do recognize a distinction between religiosity and spirituality, resulting in differences in how these concepts influence people's behavior (Black and Chavez, 2011;Choi, 2010;Choi et al, 2013;Dube and Wingfield, 2008;Kale, 2004;Ulvoas-Moal, 2010;Wilson and Hollensen, 2013).…”

“…Recent research has linked a person's perceived level of health to both his/her religiosity and spirituality (Zullig et al, 2006). Other studies link spirituality/religiosity to such sustainable consumer behaviors as a person's calmness (Burroughs and Rindfleisch, 2002), self-control (Kolodinsky et al, 2008), willingness to set an example for others (Kolodinsky et al, 2008), ethics (Albaum and Peterson, 2006;Beekun and Westerman, 2012;Cornwell et al, 2005;Vitell and Paolillo, 2003), overall satisfaction (Schneider et al, 2011), frugality (financial stewardship) (Cornelissen and Jirjahn, 2012;McCuddy and Pirie, 2007), trust of others (Tang, 2010), innovativeness (Rezaei et al, 2011), ability to reduce stress (Smith and Chin, 2011), ability to reduce depression (Smith and Chin, 2011), ability to develop a strong work ethic (Bouckaert and Zsolnai, 2012), tendency toward volunteerism (Ali Sarlak et al, 2012;Lim and MacGregor, 2012) and ability to be firm during adversities (Standifer et al, 2010). Another study positively linked religiosity and spirituality to consumer forgiveness for service failures by service providers (Tsarenko and Tojib, 2012).…”
