“…On that account, resilience requires tackling the emotional aspects promptly, and using 'relational pauses' by shifting the focal point from team's output of work to its feelings (Barton and Kahn, 2019). The corporations that have an outlook towards employee welfare and spirituality outperform with regard to practicality and creating value (Belwalkar and Vohra, 2016). Teams should be counseled to discuss their emotional turmoil, while listening energetically to others, demonstrating compassion and validating the feelings of all.…”

PurposeLeaders today are continuously seeking models to navigate through the challenges posed by the pandemic times, so as to help the organizations flourish in the volatile business environment. This paper attempts to explore the alignment of insights drawn from the ancient Indian scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, with today’s leadership requirements, towards the betterment of both the leaders and organizations.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative approach with thematic analysis is used to identify leadership qualities pertinent in difficult times through interviews with 15 employees at leadership positions. It establishes the alignment of the qualities with the sapient advice from the Holy Scripture, maneuvered by today’s leaders to become more purposeful and impactful.FindingsThe discernments from the Bhagavad Gita holistically entwine the emotional, intellectual and spiritual aspects of resilient leaders and provide guidance on the leaders’ attitude towards work, behaviour and self management, to help steer through the challenging environment. With turbulent changes during the COVID-19 pandemic, conventional leadership skills would be outmoded, and hence the leaders need to strengthen the critical shifts in their own established sets of attitudes as well as that of their workforce.Originality/valueUnder the changing work environment, while the new leadership narrative of the world beyond takes shape, this study delves both into ancient Indian wisdom and current opinion to identify a template of workable practices that would differentiate extraordinary leaders from the rest.

“…Here the body of literature of concepts such as organisational identity, organisational citizenship (Turnipseed, 1996;Belwalkar and Vohra, 2016), organisation values frameworks (Cameron and Quinn, 2011;Jurkiewicz and Giacalone, 2004) would be useful in further developing the definition for organisational leadership, thereby leaving enough room for contextual creativity. The epistemology (Hatch, 1997) and praxeology for strategy and further action can emanate from these existing concepts.…”

This paper attempts to provide an integrative definition schema suitable for redefining various definitions of leadership and building theories on leadership by following glocal fundamental research (GFR) approach which focuses both on an integrative and a holistic understanding of leadership. 'GLocal' research here refers to research that is culturally embedded in the local reality while at the same time integrative globally. An integrative view requires a broad approach including both indigenous (local) and contemporary (global) views of leadership, while a holistic approach requires the incorporation of the knower, the knowable process and knowledge of leadership from all possible perspectives and purposes. The integrative definition schema is applicable as a theoretical framework for a broader range of organisations aiming to incorporate all relevant views and the purposes of all relevant stakeholders thereby enhancing the feelings of intrapersonal and interpersonal harmony having connectedness with a higher being or feelings of transcendence.

“…In simple terms, it is about finding meaning, value, and motivation in one's work beyond paychecks and performance. It is about people finding a sense of oneness and togetherness in an organization as a whole (Belwalkar & Vohra, 2016). Spirituality is the quality of being concerned with the human spirit as opposed to material things.…”

The study focuses on the effects of workplace spirituality (WPS) with its three dimensions of meaningful work, community and alignment with organizational values on job performance (JP) including employee contextual performance and task performance with organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) as mediating variable. The study focuses on Pakistani manufacturing organizations and the study limits itself within the premises of Lahore city only. Four hypotheses were developed and tested rigorously with their fitness and relationships, positive results were found as the research hypotheses were empirically significant and accepted. The present research will help the researchers and policy makers to better understand the mediating role of OCB between WPS and JP. Undoubtedly this understanding will be helpful in crafting better policies and strategies to enhance JP of the employees in private manufacturing sector of Pakistan.
