It is plain that from an international perspective disabled people can make huge contributions to human progress. It is critical to respect their intrinsic dignity and empower them by considering their rights and freedoms as well as standing in society as subjects instead of "objects". Human rights are thus pertinent to all individuals; consequentl...
The Book of Jeremiah is the second of the Prophets in the Christian Old Testament. The prophet Jeremiah witnessed first-hand, a nation struggling to survive. Jeremiah comes
through plainly as a person contemplating his role as a servant of Yahweh with scant good news for his people. Jeremiah's heart-rending message is communicated by both his proph...
It is suggested that in the face of malevolence, such as that faced by Job, God’s omnipotence and also His benevolence can be upheld. This article thus explores the notions of human suffering, theodicy and theocracy and how they are understood in the book of Job from an Old Testament perspective. The exegesis of the Book of Job has vexed people for...
This paper contributes to the existing literature by providing an discussion and a critique of the discourse of social capital as it relates to Christianity and in particular to an Orthodox stance. Religion is acknowledged as responsible for promoting factions in the world, as well as for the strife amongst the various religious groups. The New Tes...
It is evident that from a global perspective disabled people can make huge contributions to human progress. It is thus critical to respect their inherent dignity and empower them by considering their rights and freedoms as well as standing in society as subjects instead of "objects" requiring handouts , excessive medical treatment and greater socia...
In a quest for greater coherence between parochial identities, culture and Christianity, there exists an African consciousness which seeks to indigenise and decolonise Christianity. Africans are profoundly religious people who view their faith as part of their way of life, as strengthening their cultures and providing a moral compass for daily livi...
Jesus Christ is central to Christianity as God and Saviour and He taught concerning the existence of angels, so as Orthodox Christians we ought to embrace the belief in angels. This article approaches the themes from a mainly Orthodox perspective and contends that angels are important, not only as part of a prescriptive Biblical world-view, but als...
There are diverse living religions in the world, and they exist as they likely meet various needs including the spiritual as well as material, of the people who espouse them. The religions require a systematic study as one looks at their teachings and the religious life they embrace. This article proffers an investigation on the theme of Christiani...
This article unpacks aspects of the Eucharist and how it is understood in various churches using a literature study methodology. It also looks at the notion of the “people of God’. The Greek word εὐχαριστία (eucharistia), means "thanksgiving", appears fifteen times in the New Testament and is a critical aspect of the Christian faith. The weekly cel...
The medical device industry is a highly competitive environment. Medical device companies strategise and market aggressively to remain viable and sustainable in an environment where ethical behaviour is still an expected norm that underpins business practices. Most medical device companies trading in the South African market subscribe to strict eth...
The purpose of this article is to describe the importance of intermingling and ultimately establishing organizational development initiatives based on a Marcusean humanistic paradigm. The interminable pursuit of the bottom-line is promoting a highly curtailed understanding of what it means to be a human
being. A humanistic approach has been replace...
Independence of the continent in general from the grip of colonialism, except for Spanish Sahara which is not yet independent. These wars set the course for external military interventions, which, by and large, escalated the conflict in many cases and prevented a speedy conclusion to hostilities in the countries in question. This article investigat...
This paper proposes that without ethical practices, no business irrespective of size, can hope to be sustainable. The researcher has examined how the business literature has addressed a range of issues such as for example social responsibility, environmental ethics and sustainable development. This paper thus looks at moral responsibility and the n...
This paper addresses the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and seeks to add to the literature on stakeholder theory and corporate sustainability in an era of globalization. Companies are obliged to develop strong cultures of CSR because it is the ‘right’ thing to do and not simply to enhance their strategic objectives. CSR should be...
Very little information is documented on Saint Thomas the Apostle, however the Gospel
according to Saint John gives us a very good indication of his character. Saint Thomas was
absent when Jesus appeared amongst his disciples the first time after His resurrection in the
Upper Room. He would not accept as true, the numerous eye-witness reports conce...
The purpose of the paper is to review, critique and to conceptualise psychological contracts in the
workplace and the related concept of spirituality, from an interactionist approach. This approach
emphasizes the interactive nature of the working relationship (that is fluid and bi-directional)
between an individual and the organisation. The psychol...

He was an outspoken believer in the notion of Christian female virginity and succeeded in communicating prominent conceptions of God and of the Christian quest for a virtuous life. Central to Ambrose's...

It is evident from the literature, that leadership behaviour is one, if not the most important aspect of organisational climate and ethical climate, and therefore, impacts perceived corporate responsibility, perceive organisational justice, P-O fit, organisational identification and ultimately an individual’s propensity to stay or to leave the organisation. It is hypothesised that ethical leadership would have a mediating effect on the relationships mentioned above. Ethical culture, ethical climate and ethical leadership (perceived) need to be enhanced and maintained in terms of the on-going display of moral virtuous behaviour by top management, supervisors and peers. This, combined with formal ethics mechanisms, which are required to build a strong ethical climate and culture, will ultimately result in positive individual organisational behaviour. One outcome of this study would be an empirically confirmed model, explaining the nature and extent of the relationships between ethical climate and ethical culture (including ethical leadership) and employee behaviour and attitudes in the workplace. The results will be used in the development of related strategies to enhance positive organisational behaviour.
