In recent years, after realizing that personal beliefs and spiritual development are as important as mental strength, studies in the field of spirituality in the workplace have grown exponentially. The experts here provide conceptual frameworks and guidance by examining the subject in the light of current developments at multiple levels of analysis: individual, organizational, cultural, and in leadership. Furthermore, this book focuses on rapidly evolving business models: remote working, the cyber-workplace, social media, digitalization, etc – all accelerated by the COVID-19 epidemic.The concept of spirituality in the workplace can be harmful as well as beneficial. Employees who are spiritually attached to the workplace may ignore issues known as ‘organizational deviation’ (such as theft and corruption) by keeping the interests of the institution in the foreground. These ‘dark’ and ‘invisible’ aspects of spirituality in the workplace are also examined, with a special focus on identifying aspects of spirituality which can harm businesses.Spirituality in the workplace considers employees as a whole, in spirit, body, and mind.

Proactive employee behaviour refers to the attempt to improve existing conditions in the workplace or create new ones, as well as actions to change one’s work environment, interpersonal relationships and socialisation behaviour instead of passively adapting to it. This contributed volume explores the role of proactive behaviour in employer/employee relations and in the wider context of the organization and society. It includes a comprehensive section that aims to provide a broad and descriptive perspective on the concepts of proactive behaviour and the research landscape. It examines areas including mental health, emotional management, disadvantaged employees, gender and queer-based perspectives, changes and conflict, sustainability, and non-profit organizations. Although proactive behavior is a desired behavior in business life, individuals who exhibit proactive behavior in the workplace can experience difficulties. For this reason, blind spots and hurdles that surround proactive behavior are also explored in this book.Examined in the light of current events, trends and the latest research, this book is intended to be a comprehensive guide on the positive and negative organizational behavior issues associated with proactive behavior. It will be of great interest to academics and students, as well as managers and all those with a wider interest in organizational behaviour.
