This book explores how workplace spirituality, trust, and work-life balance can transform organizational performance in developing economies. Drawing on original empirical research with the Sri Lanka Air Force, it demonstrates how nourishing the inner self—through values-based practices—enhances job satisfaction, employee engagement, and productivity.
Amid globalization, automation, and rising job insecurity, the book offers a moral and sustainable framework for HRM that bridges cultural traditions with modern management theory. It challenges Western-centric models by introducing context-specific insights and showing how spiritual values and ethical leadership can drive organizational resilience and labor productivity.
Ideal for scholars in organizational behavior, HRM, ethics, and cross-cultural management seeking strategies to align human resource practices with authenticity, trust, and wellbeing, this book contributes to global conversations on inclusive growth and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
