A Review of the Role of Workplace Spirituality and Organizational Citizenship Behavior in Enhancing Corporate Sustainability: An Underpinning Role of Stern and Dietz’s Value Model

Abstract

Organizations are under pressure to explore innovative sustainability practices that will enable organizations to handle the deteriorating issues of biodiversity and social inequality. Stern and Dietz’ model offered a set of values with which organizations can create sustainability. This study’s main purpose was to explore how Stern and Dietz’ model underpin the various dimensions of workplace spirituality and organizational citizenship behavior to accomplish corporate sustainability. To achieve the objective of the study, the previous literature was reviewed to construct a conceptual framework. This conceptual model is comprised of three phases egoistic, social altruistic, and biospheric. Based on prior literature, various dimensions of workplace spirituality and organizational citizenship behavior were underpinned to accomplish corporate sustainability. Even though this concept sets out basic guidelines. However relevant knowledge should be regarded in order to reconcile these steps in different instances. This article provides a systematic review of the Stern and Dietz value model to achieve various aspects of organizational sustainability. A constructive framework was developed to create corporate sustainability by incorporating workplace spirituality and organizational citizenship behavior into the context of the Stern Dietz’ value model. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed in this study.

The development and validation of environmental literacy instrument based on spirituality for prospective science teachers

“…Existing learning environmental education materials should not only target cognitive aspects but also include spirituality and religiosity values that emerge in society (Karyadi, 2016;Parker, 2017). Aspects of environmental sustainability are intertwined with, and cannot be separated from, human spirituality (Bajuri et al, 2021;Hafeez et al, 2022;Krempl, 2014). There is also widespread consensus that spirituality, along with all other materials, should 2 / 15 contribute to the educational for sustainable development goals (Altmeyer, 2021;Hanifah et al, 2020).…”

“…OCBs have received increasing attention from organizational behavior researchers (e.g., Bolino et al, 2013;Dekas et al, 2013;de Geus et al, 2020;Hafeez et al, 2022;Podsakoff et al, 2009).

Antecedents and Consequences of Organizational Citizenship Behavior in the Covid-19 Pandemic Era

“…Spirituality in the workplace denotes that the individual possesses the activity of a live soul and is the outcome of a worthwhile career that functions in a public venue. Most academics concurred that workplace spirituality sheds light on the sense of wholeness, connection, and deeper values (Hafeez et al, 2022).

“…There are three levels of workplace spirituality from the perspective of Milliman et al, (2003), namely organizational level, group level, and individual level. Meaningful work (individual level), a sense of belonging to a community-based community (group level), and aligning with the organization's values are the three primary characteristics of workplace spirituality (Hafeez et al, 2022). Understanding workplace spirituality helps individuals feel equal and allows them to live in a fearfree environment where their intuition and creativity can light up, and they have a sense of belonging to organizations (Risgiyanti et al, 2020).…”
