英文文献作者:Lauren Klaus,Mario Fernando
英文文献摘要:
There have been increasing calls for business leaders to follow profit making strategies that are aligned with a social purpose. The challenge for leaders is to identify and develop novel and unique organisational initiatives promoting better alignment between the competing interests of business and society. Social purpose related profit making often requires organisations to generate socially innovative ways of operating businesses. In this paper, we examine how social innovation is promoted by successful leaders in organisations through spiritual leadership. Using Parameshwar’s (2005) ego-transcendence based spiritual leadership model, we explore the processes through which business leaders can foster social innovation. Spiritual leadership can help leaders with ethical decision making and help their organisations create a healthy balance between profits, people and the planet (Fernando, 2011). It is in this context that this paper explores the role of spiritual leadership in generating profits whilst at the same time delivering win-win outcomes to organisation’s stakeholders and society through socially innovative ideas. This paper reports on influential business leaders who are credited by the media for pioneering social innovations. Leader case studies are analysed using a cross-case and within-case analysis of representative excerpts from publicly available data. We analyse in particular the instances of oppressive conditions of personal and business failures. These highlight the extreme conditions of human adversity and oppression, which demands engaging several dimensions of leader behaviour to overcome the challenging circumstances. The study aims to capture the processes these successful leaders use when overcoming challenges to create socially innovative ideas. By exploring the responses of the selected business leaders to the challenging circumstances of their social innovations, this paper describes the potentially significant role played by spiritual leadership, particularly the role of higher purpose, in the development of social innovations.
越来越多的人呼吁商界领袖遵循与社会目标一致的盈利策略。领导者面临的挑战是,识别和发展新颖而独特的组织举措,促进企业和社会竞争利益之间更好的协调。与社会目的相关的盈利通常要求组织产生具有社会创新性的经营方式。在这篇论文中,我们研究了成功的领导者是如何通过精神领导来促进社会创新的。利用Parameshwar(2005)以自我超越为基础的精神领导模型,我们探索商业领袖促进社会创新的过程。灵性领导可以帮助领导者做出道德决策,并帮助他们的组织在利润、人员和地球之间创造健康的平衡(Fernando, 2011)。正是在这种背景下,本文探讨了精神领袖在创造利润的同时,通过社会创新理念为组织的利益相关者和社会带来双赢的结果方面所扮演的角色。本文报道了那些被媒体称赞为社会创新先驱的有影响力的商业领袖。领导者案例研究分析使用跨案例和案例内分析的代表性摘录从公开可得的数据。我们特别分析了个人和企业失败的压迫情况。这些突出了人类逆境和压迫的极端情况,这需要领导者在几个方面的行为,以克服挑战性的环境。该研究旨在捕捉这些成功的领导者在克服挑战创造社会创新想法时所使用的过程。通过探究被选中的商业领袖对其社会创新的挑战环境的反应,本文描述了精神领导在社会创新发展中潜在的重要作用,特别是更高的目标的作用。
