碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 科技管理碩士班 === 100 === In 2006, Kofman stated that for an organization to be successful, it is imperative to manage personnel effectively. “Personnel” refers to “conscious beings”. “Consciousness” represents awake and cautious. As such, it is very important for an organization to have awakened and cautious personnel. This study discusses how an organization can cultivate its human resource into conscious human community and adapt itself to a variety of situations and challenges in the modern society, and to overcome these challenges in a successful manner and beyond “winning and losing”. This study applies the story of “The Emperor’s New Cloth” to reflect the importance of Conscious Business and applies Workplace spirituality, Characteristics of the Conscious employees, Organizational Citizenship Behaviors as the core elements of this discussion. This study utilizes methods of interviews, observation and qualitative methodology to collect necessary information for evaluation. The result of this study found that Workplace Spirituality, Characteristics of the Conscious employees, Organizational Citizenship Behaviors have one thing in common, an altruistic “love”. It makes the model of Conscious Business. The structure is similar to a fan with three leaves connected to a central core, the three leaves represents the three factors, Workplace spirituality, Characteristics of the conscious employees, and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors. The core of the fan is the altruistic “love” and it leads and motivates the three factors into circulation and forms Conscious Business. It enables the organization to achieve outstanding performance and sustainable development that is beyond “winning and losing”.
