Spiritual capital is the set of personal, intangible, and transcendent resources that emanate from an individual’s spiritual or religious beliefs and experiences and may be used in economic activity. I'm conducting a research which needed an overall country ranking of spiritual capital. Could anyone recommend me any research or ranking in this regards?
Dear Ehsan Chitsaz
Greetings!
Its a very good question you raised. My answer will be India. This is not because I am an Indian, but the components of spirituality you will find it better than rest of the countries. Yes it's a matter of study, and I hope there may not be such survey available.
Thank you
Dear Kamakhya,
I have already some research in this topic. You can have a look at attachment. Because of some critiques, I'm looking for a more reliable data and better measures and analysis.
One possible measure of the degree of spirituality in a country is the number of spiritual people fully consecrated to religion (like priests or nuns in christianity) per million of inhabitants. If a country has a strong "spiritual capital" it probably reflects in that.
Another measure could be the economic profile of the country. In spite of all being legal, some activities, like natural resources management, health and education, caring activities are more "Social responsibility" oriented than others like producing weapons, tobacco or pornography.
I have seen a master thesis (but it's in portuguese) that tests the correlation between activity sector and social responsibility (evaluated through sustainability reports of companies) and concludes this connection is statistically significant.
Kind regards
Fernando
Dear Fernando,
Thanks for your contribution to this question. In fact, some scholars develop a measure for Spiritual capital which found it useful for developing innovation and performance in Developing Economies. You can have a look at the recent publication in the following link. In fact, I'm looking for a world ranking to justify some findings in this field for my manuscript.
