Abstract

This study investigates the effects of the First Spiritual Exercises (FSE) on mental well-being and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) among credit union activists. Contributing to the growing intersection of spirituality and organizational psychology, the study offers empirical evidence on how structured spiritual practices shape workplace behavior. A quasi-experimental design was applied to 53 activists, with the intervention group drawn from Credit Union Kridha Rahardja and the control group from Credit Union Kasih Sejahtera. Pre- and post-test analyses revealed significant improvements in mental well-being and OCB following participation in the FSE. Furthermore, mental well-being was found to have a statistically significant influence on OCB scores. These findings affirm that spiritual exercises may serve not merely as private devotion but as strategic levers for fostering psychological resilience and pro-social behavior in organizations. Managers may consider integrating reflective spiritual practices as part of employee development initiatives to promote healthier, more engaged work cultures.

Abstract

Counselees who take part in spiritual counseling are usually those who are experiencing life impasses. Spiritual counseling offers intervention to reactivate the counselee's spiritual powers. This article aims to look at the possibility of using Soren Kierkegaard's thought of self-identity dynamics as a framework for spiritual counseling interventions. Kierkegaard, who is known as an existentialist philosopher, considers that human self-identity has three dimensions. First, the synthesis of two opposite poles: between the infinite and the finite, the mortal and the eternal, freedom and necessity. Second, internal relations: relations that connect oneself and one's individuality. The third is deep dependence on the transcendent. The three dimensions of human identity are in harmony with the main character of spiritual counseling. The method used to see this possibility is a literature study. The author reviews various literature related to spiritual counseling and Kierkegaard's concept of self-identity dynamics to produce a comprehensive discussion. There are ten journal articles that the author used for this research. Three main discussions of this paper are the definition of spiritual counseling, the concept of Kierkegaard's Self-identity dynamics, and the application of Kierkegaard's self-identity dynamics to spiritual counseling. The discussion concluded that Kierkegaard's thoughts on self-identity provided an adequate framework for the dynamics of spiritual counseling, especially to help counselees realize and actualize spiritual powers to build wholeness in freedom. This study will benefit spiritual counselors to deal with counselees experiencing life impasses and to broadenthe counselor's understanding in facilitating the counseling process.

Abstract

This study aims to provide an overview of the internalization of the spiritual values of the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of Mercy (SCMM) among junior sisters. The respondents to this study were four (4) junior SCMM sisters serving in the Santa Sesilia Community in Yogyakarta. The type of research used to address this issue was qualitative research. The data collection methods employed were in-depth interviews and observation of non-verbal behaviour. The research instrument consisted of interview guideline questions. Information was gathered from in-depth interviews with each research respondent, recorded using a sound recorder, and then compiled into verbatim transcripts. The results of the study indicate that the four (4) research respondents have a clear understanding of spirituality as an important aspect of human life. They perceive it as a search for meaning, purpose, and a personal connection with something greater than themselves, involving the authentic development of personal values and needs. The respondents have a deep understanding of the spiritual values within the context of the SCMM congregation, which include compassion, simplicity, humility, and love.
