“…Reductively assuming that because an individual is "spiritual", she would disengage from "unethical" actions is misguided. This may shine a light on studies that have found a relationship between religion/spirituality and unethical behavior (Alshehri et al 2020;Zhang, 2020). Our study shows how a deeper understanding of the normative content of different traditions would greatly enhance this stream of scholarship.…”

Although CSR scholarship has highlighted how tensions in CSR implementation are negotiated, little is known about its normative and moral dimension at a micro-level. Drawing upon the economies of worth framework, we explore how spirituality influences the negotiation of CSR tensions at an individual level, and what types of justification work they engage in when experiencing tensions. Our analysis of semi-structured interview data from individuals who described themselves as Buddhist and were in charge of CSR implementations for their organizations shows that spirituality influences how they compromise among competing moral values by identifying two forms of justification work: compartmentalizing work and contextualizing work, which help spiritual practitioners minimize moral dissonance.

The Influence of Spiritual Traditions on the Interplay of Subjective and Normative Interpretations of Meaningful Work

This paper argues that the principles of spiritual traditions provide normative ‘standards of goodness’ within which practitioners evaluate meaningful work. Our comparative study of practitioners in the Buddhist and Quaker traditions provide a fine-grained analysis to illuminate, that meaningfulness is deeply connected to particular tradition-specific philosophical and theological ideas. In the Buddhist tradition, meaningfulness is temporal and rooted in Buddhist principles of non-attachment, impermanence and depending-arising, whereas in the Quaker tradition, the Quaker testimonies and theological ideas frame meaningfulness as eternal. Surprisingly, we find that when faced with unethical choices and clashes between organizational normativity and spiritual normativity, Buddhist practitioners acknowledge the temporal character of meaningfulness and compromise their moral values, whereas in contrast, Quaker practitioners morally disengage from meaningless work. Our study highlights how normative commitments in different spiritual traditions can influence different levels of adaptability in finding work meaningful and stresses the central importance of normative commitments in meaningful work. Our study concludes with practical implications and future pathways for inter-disciplinary research.

“…Yönetim literatüründe, ahlak, maneviyat, dindarlık ve etik yargı arasında bağlantı olduğuna dair çalışmalar da söz konusu olmaya başlamıştır. Kişilerin dini, ahlaki ve manevi görüşlerinin, örgütlerdeki etik yargılarını etkilediği ve bu sürece onların dini uygulamaları ve bilgileriyle (davranışsal ve entelektüel bileşenler) aracılık ettiğine yönelik bulgular vardır (Alshehri, 2020). Bu bulguyu destekler nitelikte Giacalone ve Jurkiewicz (2003), bireysel maneviyat ve etik davranış arasında bir ilişki olduğunu tespit etmiştir.…”

Daha hızlı, daha kaliteli, daha ucuz stratejileriyle rekabetin formüllerinin belirlendiği, verimlilik, üretkenlik, etkinlik ve kârlılık gibi kavramlarla başarı ve performansın değerlendirildiği günümüz işletme dünyasında, yönetimde ahlak ve maneviyattan bahsetmek beyhude bir uğraş gibi görülebilse de bir gerekliliktir. Çünkü ahlak ve maneviyatı olmayan bir işletme ne kadar başarılı bir işletme olursa olsun bir yanı eksik kalır. Başarılı, kaliteli, hızlı, kârlı ama ahlaksız, ilkesiz, kuralsız, erdemsiz bir işletme, nasıl bir işletmedir? Bu sebeple işletmeler, yaşamda bir amaç, anlam ve sorumluluk olduğu bilinciyle hareket etmeli, denge, ahlak, maneviyat, bilgelik ve erdem gibi kavramları ölçü alarak, bir orta yol edinmelidir. Bunu sağlamanın yollarından birisi, yönetim anlayışı ve izlenen yolun insani, manevi ve dini temellere göre ayarlanması olabilir. Böylece ahlak ve maneviyat kavramları, yönetimde bir yol haritası olarak kullanılabilir. Bu önermeden hareketle yapılan çalışmada, "Yönetimde ahlak ve maneviyat" mefhumu ortaya atılarak, örgütler ve yöneticilerin kullanabileceği bir yönetim anlayışı olması için bir çerçeve sunulmaya çalışılmıştır.
