Abstract
Climate change is threatening the Earth. Organizations are the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. If organizations do not take any action against climate change, the world will soon enter an irreversible path. This chapter begins with the definitions of climate change and pro-environmental behavior. Spirituality directs individuals to live a more meaningful life, and workplace spirituality can benefit green organizations. After the conceptual definitions of spirituality and workplace spirituality, their effects on green organizations were explored. The chapter then follows with eco-spirituality that combines a positive attitude towards the environment and spiritual elements. The chapter concludes with recommendations to decision-makers and future research ideas.
