Corporate Spiritual Responsibility: Enabling Sacrifice, Common Good and Purpose
摘要
After trying to understand what Corporate Spiritual Responsibility (CSpR) is, based on secular spirituality and unitary experience of the Ultimate Other, we shall relate management to contemporary spirituality, which provides a sense of purpose to the life of the individual and the corporations. Then we look into the demands of spirituality in terms of sacrifice of the self, propagation of justice and commitment to the common good, by looking to the motivation theories of John Stacey Adams and Frederick Herzberg. We hope to show that introducing corporate spirituality and responsibility to motivation, the corporations and the stakeholders stand to gain substantially. Finally, we base our reflections on CSpR on the respect which is due to every individually and focus on a wholesome well-being based on 4 Ps: profit, people, planet and purpose. This will enable, the author argues, to demand occasionally form all stakeholders commitment, devotion and even sacrifice, without which the company and our society cannot progress in a just and egalitarian way.
