Book Part Spirituality in Nonprofit Organizations(Emerald Publishing, 2023) Asbaş,C.; Tuzlukaya,Ş.E.Spirituality refers to the relationship that individuals have with something greater than themselves. It is an inner experience that includes a sense of transcendence, a connection to a higher power, or a sense of purpose or meaning. Nonprofit organizations can be defined as a unique category of organizations whose primary goal is not to make a profit. They represent a wide range of collective action and have long been collaborators with public governance systems in both developed and developing economies. In the current socioeconomic structure, nonprofit organizations have become prominent policy actors, responsible for producing and distributing goods and services. To fulfill their responsibilities, these organizations rely on spirituality as a means of obtaining resources. While contemporary nonprofit organizations have evolved from religious charities of the past, it would be incorrect to suggest that religious influences have disappeared completely. In fact, today's nonprofit organizations and charity sector exist on a spectrum that can be defined along a religious - secular axis, under the influence at different levels. As modern nonprofit organizations are directly affected by contemporary organizational processes and principles, it is essential to examine spirituality in such organizations, regardless of whether they are religiously affiliated or not. This chapter examines the relationship between spirituality and nonprofit organizations, while also assessing their organizational effectiveness, career opportunities, leadership approaches, teamwork, job satisfaction and job dedication, in terms of spirituality and spiritual intelligence not only from a religious and cultural perspective, but also from an organizational one. © 2024 Caner Asbas and Sule Erdem Tuzlukaya.

In many non-Western societies, cultural and institutional structures intensify the influence of sexism on women's professional experiences.Objective This study explores how benevolent and hostile sexism, together with perceived organizational support, affect female employees' worries about leadership roles. It also examines whether organizational support moderates the relationship between sexism and leadership-related anxieties.Methods Data were collected from 201 full-time female employees working in various occupations in Türkiye. An online survey included the Worries about Leadership scale, the Perceived Organizational Support Scale, and the Perceived/Experienced Sexism Scale.

Specifically, benevolent sexism was linked to fewer leadership worries when organizational support was low but associated with more worries when support was high. However, hostile sexism showed no main or interaction effect with POS on WAL.Conclusion This study highlights the complex role of benevolent sexism in shaping women's leadership concerns, showing both its potentially protective and harmful effects.
