Thank you for reading my Blog
I read an article which is about whether religion and spirituality promote ethical behavior in the workplace or not. In India, the society is multi-faith. According to an interview, 40 Indian top level executives suggested their opinion. 33 executives explained that traditions, such as Islam and Christianity, promoted virtues which is like integrity, flexibility. On the other hands, 7 executives who don’t believe in religions argued that non-religious-based virtues should be encouraged to rely on their own humanistic belief system. They think ethics is secular topic and should be practiced at a human level. This view was suggested help workers remain neutral.
Some people says that religiosity and religiosity-based spirituality could promote unethical behavior. For example, discrimination. Sometimes, conflicts occur between people who doesn’t believe in same religions. Besides, despite the rich tapestry of religions and spirituality, unethical behaviors such as corruption, bribery, cronyism, and nepotism is rampant in India. However, a paper shows that some virtues translate into competencies that helps foster ethical action. For example, empathy relates to the variety of ways to connect with employees and foster quality working relationships. We can grasp religions in bad ways and good ways. In Japan, almost all people don’t believe in religion. Therefore, there is no discriminations of religion and I can’t imagine that how religion and spirituality contribute ethical behavior. In my opinion, I think the most important things to promote ethical behavior is environment of workplace and make a relationship of mutual trust between the co-workers. If we can make good environment, our jobs will be successful and promote ethical behavior. Maybe, some people can’t agree with my opinion, but I think it’s natural and it’s interesting to me.
