Using stewardship to create a virtuous organizational culture: Making the case for organizational generosity. - 292 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Benedictine University, 2007.

Organizational excellence, like personal excellence, follows from the development and practice of virtues. To live the virtuous life, whether as an individual or organization, is to excel. This dissertation shows how using stewardship as an organizational philosophy and governance model results in the development of virtues, especially the virtue of generosity. In order to make this case, donors to a Catholic diocese who had lapsed were surveyed, with the results showing that even though this group seemed particularly ungenerous by not giving again to the diocese, they remained very generous and active members of their respective parishes. The results of a segmentation analysis show that those lapsed donors who reported being practitioners of stewardship were more engaged and involved in their parish than were those who were not practitioners of stewardship. Stewardship is presented from both a religious and secular perspective, making this study of interest to both religious and non-religious organizations. Themes of organizational culture and leadership are developed in light of organizational virtues and generosity.Subjects--Topical Terms:
