20.500.12556/RUL-147277 Evolutionary regularities of the "act of giving" across neo-Piagetian adult development stages and the transformative power of contemplative prayer In times of unpredictability and large-scale socioeconomic changes, we need to bring novel concepts and phenomena like solidarity and the act of giving under the focus of leadership, management, and spirituality studies. In this enclosed paper, we address how the interpretations and expectations of the act of giving evolve across the levels of consciousness, also referred as stages of adult development. We apply neo-Piagetian constructive view on the human development. To unpack these regularities, we use a mixed-method research design. The research findings reveal that the interpretations and expectations of the act of giving evolve across the stages of adult development. They exhibit the tendency to move to less conditional, self-serving, and transactional interpretations and expectations behind the act of giving. Because the movement of the adult across stages (levels of consciousness) is a slow pace process - the paper also explores possible interventions that could make people more prone to the less conditional, self-serving, and transactional act of giving regardless of the stage of development. Thus, we study the impact of contemplative prayer on the change in the interpretations and expectations of the act of giving. The impact of contemplative prayer is such that it seems that a person moves to one stage higher when it comes to the interpretations and expectations behind the act of giving. interpersonal relationships charity ethics human evolution democracy adult development act of giving contemplative prayer medosebni odnosi dobrodelnost etika razvoj človeka demokracija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-06-28 15:12:53 2023-06-28 15:12:55 2023-06-29 03:40:34 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 Str. 519-553 no. 8 Vol. 76 2020 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 177.72 0260-4027 10.1080/02604027.2020.1810537 29215235 Evolutionary_Regularities_of_the_Act_of_Giving_across_Neo_Piagetian_Adult_Development_Stages_and_the_Transformative_Power_of_Contemplative_Prayer.pdf Evolutionary_Regularities_of_the_Act_of_Giving_across_Neo_Piagetian_Adult_Development_Stages_and_the_Transformative_Power_of_Contemplative_Prayer.pdf 1 8D3136A5184E777CA83BE1AA8FB00532 9254fdefd97b9e5dc2f9ed14d5a3d66c02c8c50d53a22ad59a6e17965ab37dc7 45e34e58-15b5-11ee-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=170809 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02604027.2020.1810537 0 2a403b13-15b5-11ee-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=170808 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
