“…One should be careful about being overly optimistic, as there are also negative effects in including spirituality in knowledge management. For example, the mysticism that spirituality can bring can hinder practical understanding and achievement of learning (Friedman et al, 2005), and the rhetorical use of spirituality can support capitalism (Ul-Haq, 2020). None of these findings should be generalized, and they are just warning signs that academics and practitioners should consider.…”

“…Their recent knowledge field theory defends three fields of knowledge: rational, emotional, and spiritual. An interactive and iterative dynamic is generated by transforming each form of knowledge into another form (Bratianu & Bejinaru, 2019, 2020. Spiritual knowledge is a product of the interaction between culture and spirituality.…”

“…Knowledge and spirituality are topics that require in-depth research. A transcendental topic as spirituality requires qualitative methodology, sometimes metaphysical (Brown, 2003;Poole, 2009;Ul-Haq, 2020). Only qualitative approaches can convey profundity in scientific research (Corbin & Strauss, 2008;Edmondson & McManus, 2007;Macnaghten & Myers, 2007).…”

Society demands more sustainable business. Increasing organizational spirituality can be one manner of accomplishing this humanized strategy, and knowledge management is an efficient method to diffuse high-level values through the company. Spirituality has a vital role in organizational theory and practice. Nevertheless, this also places a heavy burden on practitioners. To address this association, we conducted a systematic literature review, systematizing and categorizing the results to answer the research question, “can organizational spirituality contribute to knowledge management?”, and propose a future investigation research agenda. We utilized the Web of Science and Scopus database. We submitted the articles to VOSviewer software version 1.6.16 for building, displaying, and exploring a bibliometric map supported by network data. The beginning was about wisdom, followed by a major focus on knowledge fields after increasing attention to spirituality. VOSviewer provided a network with two clusters, namely, spirituality dynamics and knowledge dynamics. Spirituality and knowledge labels have connections in both clusters. Wisdom and organizational wisdom are isolated from the other terms. Based on the articles analyzed, organizational spirituality can indeed assist knowledge management. One should ponder, however, that there are still few empirical studies with non-generalizable results. Considering the mysticism and excess of non-scientific articles (and scarcity of scientific ones), we recommend a change in approaching it. Traditional and positivist methodologies are not the most suitable; consequently, innovative and mixed methods ought to be used, providing the research’s scientific nature. It is crucial to look at the insertion of spirituality in management with a scientific and critical eye.

This study aimed to examine microfinance's role in providing essential services to economically disadvantaged people in the aftermath of natural disasters. A study of 300 people who use microfinance was carried out in the tehsil of Taunsa, located in the district of Dera Ghazi Khan. In 2022, information was gathered from microfinance institution customers impacted by flooding. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not microfinance helped them meet their basic needs during the natural disaster. The data was analyzed using the 21st edition of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The most important findings from this study were that most microfinance users were men; however, slightly more than one-third of microfinance users were females. This is an important finding because, in a natural disaster, financial assistance is provided to female-headed families so their basic needs can be met. The vast majority of those polled owned their homes, most of which were flooded. The findings of this study suggested that neither the government nor microfinance institutions provide significant assistance to disaster victims in their efforts to recover. According to preliminary findings from this study, low-income families facing difficult circumstances during or after a disaster are more likely to rely on themselves and the coping mechanisms provided by their communities than on any public or private assistance. According to the findings, policy interventions aimed at reducing flood losses and assisting improvement should consider the shifting risk profile that impoverished people face when it comes to natural disasters.

“…People spend about a third of their day working and an additional hour or so thinking about work. Members of organizations are sickened by the demands of work, burnout, anxiety, depression, alcoholism, high blood pressure, and various work-related illnesses continue to grow (Leitão et al, 2021;Maslach et al, 2001;Parker & DeCotiis, 1983;Sanne et al, 2005;Ul-Haq, 2020). The lack of alignment between the company and its members (Crossman, 2016) and the lack of meaning about work (Molloy & Foust, 2016) brings problems to companies.…”

Phronetic Workplace: A Step Forward into a Practically Wise Company

Phronesis (practical wisdom) is introduced in the management field as a possible solution to the problems associated with wild capitalism. Although its highly sustainable performance characterizes a phronetic company through innovativeness and shared value creation, there is yet a gap in the literature concerning workplace phronesis’ perspective in management. We propose integrating organizational spirituality and organizational phronesis theories in management research to address the phroneticworkplace. This study contributes to shedding light on the understanding of phronesis in management addressing group behavior and how individual phronesis spreads into the workplace towards the phronetic organization.
