About this book
This two volume work examines the role of spiritual and religious traditions as a balancing force during times of crisis in organizational settings. Elucidating the varied ways in which spiritual/religious traditions provide new ways of coping in unprecedented times, the chapters provide an integrative review and critical analysis of recent research in the field. Bringing together an extraordinary compendium of religious/ spiritual traditions through a combination of Eastern and Western approaches, this comprehensive work provides a new perspective and highlights alternative mechanisms to deal with current socio-economic dilemmas and workplace crisis facing humanity.
Weaving together various strands in a systematic manner, Volume 1 focuses on the faith traditions and practices including Hinduism Sikhism, Quakerism, Catholicism, Presbyterianism, Abraham religions and the Bahá’à tradition. Volume 2 focuses on spiritual traditions including Buddhism and Confucianism. Within the chapters of Volume 2, the authors offer critical explorations of a wide range of topics ranging from crisis management, community responses to Covid-19, ethics, mindfulness, and approaches to pedagogy and organizational research methodologies.
