AbstractRecent literature has recognized the advantageous role of low-arousal positive affect such as feelings of peacefulness and internal harmony in collectivist cultures. However, limited research has explored the benefits of low-arousal affective states in the educational setting. The current study examined the link of peace of mind (PoM) to academic motivation (i.e., amotivation, controlled motivation, and autonomous motivation) and academic achievement among 525 Filipino high school students. Findings revealed that PoM was positively associated with academic achievement β = .16, p < .05, autonomous motivation β = .48, p < .001, and controlled motivation β = .25, p < .01. As expected, PoM was negatively related to amotivation β = –.19, p < .05, and autonomous motivation was positively associated with academic achievement β = .52, p < .01. Furthermore, the results of bias-corrected bootstrap analyses at 95% confidence interval based on 5,000 bootstrapped resamples demonstrated that peace of mind had an indirect influence on academic achievement through the mediating effects of autonomous motivation. In terms of the effect sizes, the findings showed that PoM explained about 1% to 18% of the variance in academic achievement and motivation. The theoretical and practical implications of the results are elucidated.

This article presents the findings of research conducted on ‘forgiveness’ as a spiritual construct, religious survival strategy and meaning-giving tool during incarceration. The research was conducted with 30 men serving long-term sentences in Zonderwater, a correctional centre outside Pretoria, South Africa. A review of literature showed that forgiveness has mainly been seen as something the perpetrator owed the victim and that asking for and granting forgiveness were religious imperatives. However, this study shows that offenders, in the troubled space of incarceration, survived by putting themselves in control of forgiveness. They found peace of mind by granting forgiveness to those who caused them to be incarcerated, whilst at the same time taking responsibility for their own actions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants. Applying an interpretative phenomenological analysis methodology, the collected data were analysed and the following themes were identified: (1) forgiving those who transgressed against me; (2) the role of politics in forgiveness; (3) God’s role in forgiveness; and (4) the effects of forgiveness on the self.Contribution: This article contributes to an understanding of the construction of forgiveness as experienced by offenders, independent from the traditional victim-offender relations. Living in a troubled, unforgiving space, these men are expected to practice forgiveness by set standards. From their shared narratives, it is illustrated that their spiritual navigation with this phenomenon is not a chronological, time dependent process, but a multi-dimensional, personal journey to self-discovery.

Insight Into

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to look beyond the classic literature on managerial “best practices”, standards, organizational behavior and ready-made managerial discourses, and which have tended to deny the role of fear as a major issue in today’s modern enterprise. Lessons from Seneca allow us to understand how the phenomenon of fear, which has largely been hushed up by organizational culture, can be demystified and brought into the open. Design/methodology/approach – The aim is to prod further thinking, after the example of Seneca’s stingray, about the dominant ideology of management, which is under threat from four factors that have been allowed to spread like a numbing toxin. Findings – Seneca’s philosophy, then, should be viewed as rich in insight into how today’s disquieted managers might find peace of mind. Originality/value – Seneca asks us to consider fear as far more detrimental than the very adversities that we try to keep at bay. That does not mean we ought to deny fear, but, rather, attempt to better understand its inevitability, and hold it in check. No good can come from rushing headlong toward doom, in anticipation of ills that will not necessarily materialize, or, in any event, whose occurrence is beyond our control.

<p><em>Love is the base of the universe; it is the cause of the existence of creatures on the earth. This is one of the basic needs of human beings. Everyone wants peace and love but lust, materialistic desires, bubble fame, wealth, misguided patriotism lead to destruction and chaos in the world. God has given human beings no religion, these are human beings who put label of religion on themselves and call God by different names Allah, Ishwar, Jesus and so on. God is one and all the religion leads us to same path. No religion leads us to destruction, violence and bloodshed. No wars and terror should be launched in the name of religion. Some fanatic Muslims believe in <strong>JIHAD</strong>, according to them Islam is in danger and for the safety and existence of Islam; Muslims should stand up together and fight. This fanaticism should not be sprouted on this earth. Generally an average person's level of consciousness is rather low. He is enslaved to life and lives on false hopes and illusions.</em></p><p><em>He spends his life in ignorance, experiencing joy and sorrow, success and failure, love and grief without ever really coming to the ultimate realization. Under the influence of sensation and passion, people commit errors which they subsequently regret. They delude themselves by looking for peace, happiness and self accomplishment through the pleasure of the senses. Materialism does not give us peace of mind and inner calm. There are so many examples throughout the world of people who have everything they need materially but they are nevertheless unhappy, restless and tormented.</em></p>
