Description
Summary:Promotion of altruistic behaviour in organisations to foster larger, socially responsible considerations to avoid the self-centred mentality is crucial nowadays. Examining how different factors work together to support a comprehensive solution that inspires self-transformation and leads to altruistic behaviour would be instructive. Altruistic behaviour built due to yoga-based practices was identified from the past literature and is finalised based on the Fuzzy Delphi method. The WINGS method has developed the contextual relationship between the identified behaviours. The results revealed that self-transcendence has a greater impact on others for altruistic behaviour followed by psychological capital and emotional intelligence which is found to be the prime causal factor. This study will assist management practitioners and institutions in identifying the behaviours and conducting the yoga-based practice in their organization. The study will also contribute to developing efficient, long-lasting, and successful training materials for encouraging altruistic conduct among management staff.
