The Adhesive Effect of Corporate Spirituality on Organizational Internal-External Strategies and Sustainability

Abstract

This particular study investigates the adhesive effect of corporate spirituality on Organizational internal-external strategies and its overall influence on Organizational sustainability. The study is governed and examined through the lens of organizational learning and also spirituality leadership theory. The research stems from the context of oil and gas firms from a developing Country (Nigeria) and it takes a quantitative approach, employing 30 pilot survey data from the research setting. The results found that corporate spirituality has a significant positive effect and it strengthens and moderates the relationship between Organizational internal-external strategies and the sustainability of Oil and Gas firms. Yet, the reality remains that even in leading Organizations that recognize the importance (directly or indirectly) of corporate spirituality and purpose, the concept seems to be slightly neglected and underappreciated. This study stands to enhance (with empirical evidence) the examined relationship, especially in Oil and Gas firms, which is a sector going through a turbulent phase globally in terms of sustainability. Ultimately, the study promotes corporate spirituality values among Organizations, which will subsequently result in the development of a suitable and resilient model towards sustainable performance.
