Sensemaking and spirituality: the process of re-centring self-decentralisation at work
通过对104名佛教徒高管和员工的访谈，研究揭示了个体在工作场所灵性背景下如何通过意义建构实现自我去中心化，并发现了一种重新中心化的现象，对理解灵性实践如何影响工作意义及人力资源管理有启示。
This study explores sensemaking as grounded in identity construction in the context of workplace spirituality to uncover how individuals make sense of the process of self-decentralisation. The paper adopts the Buddhist notion of non-self as an analytical tool to explore how Buddhist practitioners in organisational contexts ‘empty out’ and de-centre the self in constructing and negotiating self-identity in the workplace. Through 104 interviews with both executives and employees who are Buddhist practitioners, the study reveals a phenomenon of re-centring self-decentralisation emerging in the pursuit of self-decentralisation. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how individuals make sense of work in the context of a spiritual practice and highlight practical implications for HRM practices to manage dynamic interpretations and enactments of spiritual practices in organisations.
