In this chapter, we examine the intersections of positive psychology (in particular, meaningfulness), religious and spiritual meaning systems, and the human experience of working. Accordingly, we used a multilevel integrative model to explore factors that influence how religious/spiritual meaning systems can contribute to the experience of meaningfulness at work. This approach accounts for the individual, job, organizational, and societal levels of experience. Researchers are invited to test segments of the model using appropriate statistical techniques such as multilevel modeling. Counselors, human resource professionals, and organizational leaders are encouraged to invite workers to draw from their religious/spiritual meaning systems to inform career decisions and influence organizational policies and goals.
Specifically pertaining to support for employees with religious/spiritual commitments, Bennett (2008) described four levels of organizational action. The first focuses simply on compliance sleeping with hands above head laws that protect employees’ rights to express their religion. The second entails normalization strategies that intentionally promote a culture of tolerance for religious expression (e.g., support for employee-led Bible study or meditation groups). "Utilization" describes the third level, in which employees are encouraged to draw from their religious/spiritual meaning systems to inform organizational procedures and goals. The fourth is maximization, which occurs when the organization draws from religious/spiritual meaning systems to inform the broader organizational mission and ultimate aspirations.
It is generally rare to see an Owl because they’re well hidden by day. Should you see one, it’s time to follow your curiosity about a person or thing. A dream in which Owl appears can signal a time of deep introspection. The dream comes from your subconscious to make you aware, so you can prepare.
One study reported a negative relationship, although at a trend level (Dalgalarrondo et al. 2008). Participants in the intervention group were taught how to cultivate sacred moments, as well as how to be in the present moment. They were instructed to choose a meaningful object that represented something special to them.
The spirit cannot be captured through our 5 senses (seeing, hearing, smell, taste and touch) which we use to understand the objects normally. Nor any scientific instrument has been developed till date to capture the spirit. But we do not discard its existence merely on our limitation to capture it, even in modern day’s scientific world. Otherwise such a word would not have not been created and acknowledged with synonyms like ‘soul’ or ‘life force’. We can find the existence of similar words in most of other languages also.
