Perceptions of managerial effectiveness and influence: The role of networks

<p class="Abstract">Workplace spirituality has steadily been gaining attention in the last couple of years. Many researchers have investigated the role of “workplace spirituality” with the aim of generating research data that would firmly entrench this construct as vital in the workplace. This article proposes the relationships between workplace spirituality, job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviors. It examines the relationship between three workplace spirituality components–meaning and purpose in work, recognition of an inner life or spirit and interconnectedness with the various forms in which organizational citizenship behaviours manifest, mediated by the job satisfaction experienced by the employees. This study can provide significant inputs to promote managerial effectiveness, change management, leadership, holistic performance and growth of organizations, through environments which promote workplace spirituality.</p>

An efficient and novel method for job analysis (i.e., Job Profiling) which incorporates the above variables is introduced and its theoretical foundations is discussed. Based upon the findings of a presented case it is concluded that, the Job Profiling method has to be integrated with selection criteria and should be used in conjunction with focused selection techniques to ensure the optimal match of the managers working in the IDC and their jobs.
