Employees bring their beliefs and religious values to work, and this can be a source of either positive performance or negative conflict. Social conflicts around religion impact more than societies and communities. They also impact organizations. 'Anti-religion' sentiments tend to be based on the perception that religion can be neatly separated from the 'more acceptable/palatable' spirituality, but this ignores the fact that - for most people - the two are intimately intertwined and inseparable. As religious identity is salient for a majority of the world's population, it is thus an important aspect of organizations - particularly those with a large and diverse body of employees. This handbook provides a timely and necessary analysis of religious diversity in organizations, investigating the role of national context, the intersections of religion with ethnicity and gender, and approaches to diversity management.

“BRI is expected to have major economic and strategic implications not only for China, but for many other countries. There is much to be learnt from the recent exponential growth of the Chinese economy. In this context, this in-depth research volume will be of great value to policy-makers, practitioners, the business community, and research scholars. —Dipak C. Jain, European President and Professor, China Europe International Business School (CEIBS), China “BRI is a state-led undertaking involving multiple countries and organisations with unprecedented scale for political, economic, and social impact. So far, literature has not paid sufficient attention to such a project, and thus, this book which takes a business and management approach, will help readers to gain a novel understanding of the initiative.” —Shaomin Li, Eminent Scholar and Professor, Old Dominion University, USA “Going beyond typical economic and political analyses, this book explores the impact of BRI on management, business, society and the environment. One important insight offered is that the overarching goal — trade, transportation, infrastructure, and communication connectivity — requires an understanding of the socioeconomic diversity and heterogeneity of the affected countries.” —Shu-Chun Susan Yang, Senior Economist, Research Department, International Monetary Fund, USA Bringing together a collection of interdisciplinary chapters on China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI, or also known as One Belt One Road), this book offers a comprehensive overview of the topic from a business and management perspective.

‘The authors explore how individual motivations in collectivistic societies such as Saudi Arabia may be different from those in individualistic Western societies. They demonstrate how one such theory, the widely accepted Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, is bounded by culture, religion, and tradition, and has limited generalizability outside the West.’ —Eddy Ng, Professor and F.C. Manning Chair in Economics and Business, Dalhousie University ‘This book contributes to motivation scholarship by putting the theory to test in an under-researched cultural context. Such an endeavour is more than welcome and highly topical in a context where people of Islamic faith and/or from the Middle East are all too often caricatured in the media and political arena, with little empirical knowledge available on which to base analysis.’ —Alain Klarsfeld, Professor of Human Resource Management, Toulouse Business School, University of Toulouse p>p This book investigates the relevance of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a theory of motivation, whilst taking into account variances in culture and individual experiences and perspectives. Focussing on higher education, the book responds to the call for providing alternative conceptual models, other than those originating from the Anglo-Saxon world. The authors take a contextual approach and use the case of Saudi Arabia to understand motivation in a collectivist, highly religious and conservative society of the Middle East. Providing empirical findings from a study carried out at two Saudi universities differing in their religious outlook, this book reveals a hierarchy of needs that is significantly different from the theory proposed by Maslow. Religion, culture and gender are explored in detail as the authors investigate the relevance of Maslow’s theory in a region that is of growing interest to policy-makers and practitioners in North America and Europe, offering a truly insightful read to an international audience.
