What can spiritual and religious traditions of discernment contribute to management and organizations? A set of authors has responded to this question and offered initial empirical evidence. This article identifies and reviews research on discernment in management and organization studies, and clarifies the nature and location of discernment within the field. It also draws together writings on discernment from outside the field, organizes their coverage according to three units of analysis – processes, practices, and meetings – and elaborates the details of discernment within each. The literature review and conceptual development offered here sets the stage for further advances in discernment research and extending discernment in management and organizations.","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74640669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It draws on contemplative practices such as mindfulness, reflexivity and empathy that may contribute to closing the gap between self and other. From these practices, I argue that we have the ability to tap into the harmonic frequency of the universe (quantum empathy) that may bridge across, through and beyond boundaries to link our human experience. At this quantum level, empathy is an entangled, interconnected and indeterminate shared existence that may support the ethical shift in human consciousness. This view of spirituality as a macrolevel organizing mechanism does not present a tool-kit for organizational change, but rather offers a provocation of future system-level possibilities abducted from leading-edge science.","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83714224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Entrainment is a process of synchronization and connectedness within, between, and across rhythmic activities. This conceptual paper argues that applying spiritual leadership at each level of an organization can drive the (inter)connectedness in today’s organizations through entrainment. First, the concept of entrainment is introduced, with a focus on intraentrainment. The learnings from entrainment are then applied to spiritual leadership theory to enrich it. As such, it proposes a basis for new empirical research in the fields of leadership and organizational entrainment.","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87165351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, we propose that spirituality moderates the relationship between work-family conflict and well-being. The research includes a broad range of well-being variables including job and family satisfaction, subjective and psychological well-being. Based on a survey of a large national sample (N = 1130), we found that spirituality mitigated the negative effects of work-family conflict on a wide range of well-being measures.

Pavlovich","doi":"10.1080/14766086.2020.1789309","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14766086.2020.1789309","url":null,"abstract":"Change and disruption is all around us, with our economic, social, and environmental imperatives currently being turned upside down and governed by paradoxes. . Chaos is replacing (perceived) order, local is replacing global, digital is replacing F2F, digital enhances global, and home is replacing the tourist gaze. This sense of significant disruption means that our models of conventional management are becoming less relevant and we need new perspectives and even ontologies that give insights into emerging forms that may govern a more compassionate future. One such lens challenging our traditional theories is quantum physics. The discovery that the quantum realm is both a subjective and an objective reality opens new possibilities in critiquing the Newtonian-Cartesian-Darwinian belief that organizations ought to be governed by competition and self-interest. Rather, quantum physics shows us that the universe is made of both properties of waves and properties of particles, that is, a sense of inexplicable wholeness and connectedness that is governed through entanglement, potentiality, and indeterminism. A quantum perspective therefore enables us to radically reframe our understanding of reality through eliminating dichotomies. Because quantum relies on our direct-intuitive experience, our personal experiences and practices become central to this shift in awareness. The result of this increase in awareness is to critique how our actions impact on others and on the world, meaning that our quantum leaders and managers are more likely to be agents who focus on enhancing human flourishing and societal well-being. In this special issue, we have contributions from four authors who endeavor to explain and apply this “quantum” way of thinking to organizational management and leadership. All of these contributions acknowledge the role of a spiritual contemplative practice as a direct-intuitive experience; and that the outcome of this results in a wholeness that reduces the self-other dichotomy that potentially has a positive impact on organizations and society. Our special issue begins with a contribution by Chris Lazlo with a discussion on the quantum field and how it sheds light on the power of direct-intuitive practices that may transform a leader’s conscious awareness. Chris argues that this shift in awareness is necessary as, despite enormous contributions to human progress, market-based forprofit businesses generally operate at a significant cost to society. He therefore suggests that practices such as meditation, nature immersion, and countless others are the highest points of leverage for entrepreneurial creativity and innovation. Awareness and contemplative practice leads managers to pursue business as a force for good not only because of","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86308205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, quantitative research is lacking on the impact of courses designed to prepare students for multifaith workplaces or organizations where spirituality is expressed. This quasi-experimental study examined the effects of a two-hour online lesson on leadership, religion, and spirituality on undergraduate students’ perceptions of the topic in pre-, post-, and eight-week post-lesson surveys. Two factors emerged representing students’ perceptions. Changes in interest and openness to learning about leadership, religion, and spirituality were sustained over eight weeks. Changes in fear or apprehension about engaging this topic in the classroom or workplace were transient, decreasing initially, but returning to pre-lesson levels at eight weeks. This study’s findings suggest that a single lesson shows potential to increase students’ openness and interest in learning about the intersection of leadership, religion, and spirituality.","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79266529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transcendence at Workplace comprises of three correlated yet distinct dimensions: Work as service, Self-connectedness, and Sense of We-ness.

This research makes a significant theoretical contribution to the evolving discourse on transcendence (in organizational context) by defining, developing, and validating the measure of Transcendence at Workplace. Practitioners can use the measure for assessing, and raising TAW, which will in turn have benefits for employees, organizations, and the larger community or society.","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75798295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much research refers to the fact that many workers’ reasons for working are spiritually based. Research has shown that spirituality provides a motivation oriented to the needs of others and an intellectual and affective “openness” to those around us that reinforces cooperation, acting as a “social glue”. Explanations have been given for this effect of spirituality, particularly psychological explanations. However, there is still no philosophical explanation. This article provides a philosophical foundation for the motivation oriented to the needs of others (prosocial motivation) generated by spirituality, previously discovered and analyzed by philosophers like Plato, and in particular Aristotle, by explaining what it is and how the human spirit acts. The paper concludes that the reinforcement of PFW produced by spirituality derives from the “openness to … ” that essentially constitutes the activity of human spirit as “actuality”.","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82274636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
