“…Notwithstanding its intuitive theoretical value and lasting usefulness in a wide range of different disciplines (e.g., Burhan, Mohamad, Kurniawan, & Sidek, 2014;Jackson et al, 2014;Rajasakran, Sinnappan, & Raja, 2014;Taormina & Gao, 2013), Maslow's approach has sometimes been criticized for a number of reasons, but within specific contexts of application and not on a universal level. These include its linear and upward directional build-up, the rigidness of its layers, the questionable upper position of self-esteem, and a too "individualistic" emphasis on self-actualization (Rajasakran et al, 2014). Critique on the lack of empirical validation is not entirely fair, as some studies clearly go into that direction (e.g., Burhan et al, 2014;Taormina & Gao, 2013).…”

“…Trigg (2004) has noted that Maslow conceptualised needs as innate and unconnected to social and cultural interaction. Rajasakran et al (2015) have argued that Maslow’s hierarchy needs to be revised to include non-Western elements rather than keeping it exclusively as a Western construct. Many other criticisms have been voiced including those by Kendrick et al (2010) and Littrell (2011).…”

Purpose The Maqāṣid (objective) hierarchy is a triple-tiered conceptualisation of individual and social needs that is grounded in the five objectives of Sharīʿah (Islamic Law). Managerialism is the ideological representation of human interaction based on managerial doctrines and practices. This paper aims to explore the tension between the Maqāṣid hierarchy and managerialism by evaluating the Sharīʿah requirements in the Islamic Financial Services Act (IFSA) 2013 of Malaysia from the Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah perspective. Design/methodology/approach This qualitative study uses an inductive approach to review the sources of Sharīʿah and classical literature of Islamic jurists to present Sharīʿah rulings on managerialism and Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah. Findings The Maqāṣid hierarchy promotes a vision of human life that is the opposite of managerialism. In the case of IFSA 2013, the Maqāṣid hierarchy, which is supposed to be the bedrock for Islamic finance, is replaced by a managerial hierarchy closer to Maslow’s hierarchy than it is to Imam Shatibi’s concept of human life. A process of fitting the Maqāṣid hierarchy into a narrow managerial mould occurs in IFSA 2013, meaning that many of the unique aspects of the Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah are lost. Social implications This study will assist Sharīʿah scholars, policymakers and Islamic financial institutions to develop the financial system and to implement the Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah to improve macro policy and shaping Islamic institutions. Originality/value This is a pioneer study that develops a bridge between the Islamic Maqāṣid and conventional managerial hierarchies, which will encourage academics and practitioners to enrich the literature by conducting more in-depth studies on this topic.

“…Eastern religions, such as Hinduism, are viewed as more than a religion but also a culture or Purushartha-way of life (Rajasakran et al, 2014). There are four Purusharthas or goals of Hinduism, including dharma (virtue), artha (material wealth), moksha (transcendence), and kama (pleasure; Salagame, 2013, p. 379).…”

Awareness of the intersectionality of a person's religious and spiritual belief system with their mental and physical health is slowly being elevated within the Western healthcare system. There are many opportunities for better understanding and incorporation of religious and spiritual beliefs into aphasia rehabilitation. To extend the recognition of religion and spirituality's importance in healthcare to persons living with post-stroke aphasia while emphasizing the diversity of beliefs, the current article seeks to provide a brief overview of the global religions; explain the intersection of religion, spirituality, and health; review the existing literature in the area of aphasia and religion, spirituality, and spiritual care; discuss the clinical importance and implications of religion and spirituality; and finally, lay out a forward view of the direction this area of exploration may take within aphasiology.
