STUPIDITY MANAGEMENT AS A LACK OF SPIRITUALITY MANAGEMENT: HOW TO IMPROVE ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT?

The main cause of widely spreaded stupidity management in contemporary organizations can be settled in the lack of spirituality management i.e. lack of specific spiritual orientation and personal spiritual values. By definition stupidity management deals with limitation of unsuitable „smart“, with limitations in intelectual and/or emotional-motivational functional area. The deficit of critical thinking, deeper thinking, creativity and passion most often arise not because of inteligence deficit but because of different emotional-motivational blockages which as mostly cause generate stupidity management e.g. by fear, uncertainity, power mechanism, domination, coercion, „higher“ politics, lack of curiosity, manipulation…, but also because of partial knowledge and/or pseudoknowledge who has also an emotional-motivational background. Namely, without spiritual management no one potential valuable organizational/economic solution regardless of its vision or strategic fundation can not vivify, because it will be distorted or canceled by egoistic opportunism of organizational actors which characterize essential lack of spirituality. Today is known that organizational/socio-economic crisis is dominantly result of spirituality (value) crisis which do not promote ethical values and ethical culture/climate (knowing what´s right, valuing what´s right and doing what´s right), what is crucial for diminishing the emotional-motivational cause of stupiditiy management. The goal of this paper was to research how to deminish emotional-motivational caused stupidity management which is seen as a main couse of organizational stagnation by means of spirituality management and his crucial value categories. So, this paper by insight method discuss the problem of stupidity management caused because of emotional-motivational reasons. Namely, stupidity management retard organizational development by inhibiting the cognitive and emotional-motivational capacities of organizational human resuources i.e. psychological capital of an organization. To deminish the main emotional-motivational cause of stupidity management and organizational stagnation substantialy can help ethical culture/ climate with the spiritual management/leadership. In this paper as proposed spiritual values for spiritual management/leadership are discussed the values of truth, correct behaviour, love, peace/serenity and nonviolance. This values are basis for organizational development i.e. realization the vision of spiritual, productive, inteligent, creative, happy enterprises, which produces stakeholder well-being and diminished stupidity management.
