摘要

When individuals experience a conflict in the workplace, it is common for them to initially react with negative emotions. These negative feelings can result in behaviours that initiate a harmful cycle of revenge or retaliation between the parties involved, which hurts the overall interests of the organization, unless one person chooses to forgive. This research examines the role of organizational compassion in fostering a climate of forgiveness in higher education institutes. Based on a sample of 124 teachers employed in various colleges of University of Delhi, the study utilized descriptive, correlation and regression analyses to study the impact of organizational compassion in fostering a forgiveness climate. The results demonstrate a positive and statistically significant correlation between organizational compassion and forgiveness climate in the workplace. The regression analysis results further demonstrate that organizational compassion plays a positive and significant role in fostering a climate of forgiveness at the workplace. This study, therefore, suggests that promoting a culture of compassion within higher education institutions is crucial for cultivating forgiveness climate among teachers. Organizational compassion not only enhances interpersonal relationships, but it also promotes a supportive work environment where forgiveness climate can flourish and teachers can feel and perform better.
