Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to proffer an enrichment of the workplace spirituality (WS) construct using tenets of Indian philosophy, and to select and execute an instrument for empirical validation of the construct to assess its cross-regional universality. The literature review was undertaken and the most accepted construct and its accompanying instrument, both developed by Ashmos and Duchon, were identified. The chosen construct was then evaluated and critiqued by leveraging tenets of Samkhya, Yoga and Vedanta, the three most influential Indian philosophies. Subsequently, a survey was conducted on Indian managers working across various industries and regions in India. Factor analysis resulted in validation of cross-geographical universality of the WS construct. However, participants’ responses throw up factors with distinctively contrasting difference vis-à-vis the previous study. A plausible explanation built on the essence of Indian philosophy is attempted, and opportunities for future research are identified.

以印度哲学的洞见丰富职场灵性的建构及其在印度情境下的实证验证
本文的目的是利用印度哲学的原则来丰富工作场所灵性(WS)结构,并选择和执行一种工具来对该结构进行实证验证,以评估其跨区域的普遍性。我们进行了文献回顾,并确定了Ashmos和Duchon开发的最被接受的结构及其配套工具。所选择的结构然后通过利用三种最有影响力的印度哲学,瑜伽和吠檀多的原则进行评估和批评。随后,对在印度不同行业和地区工作的印度经理进行了一项调查。因子分析结果验证了WS结构的跨地域普遍性。然而,与先前的研究相比,参与者的回答提出了明显不同的因素-à-vis。本文试图从印度哲学的本质出发,给出一个合理的解释,并确定了未来研究的机会。
