This paper outlines potential interactions of God with humanity from the dawn of time through to attaining spiritual well-being. It briefly mentions alternative theories of origin, which connect to questions of ultimate reality, origin of human beings and our spiritual well-being. The nature of spirit and its relationship with soul and mind is then canvassed, followed by an account of historical developments in “spirituality”. The author’s Four Domains Model posits that Spiritual Health/Well-Being is reflected in the quality of relationships that each person has in up to four areas, namely with themselves, with others, with nature and/or with a Transcendent Other (commonly referred to as God). A critique of available measures of spirituality and spiritual well-being reveals a decline in the number of instruments assessing human relationships with God from earlier to more recent times. In contrast to this current trend of researchers selecting more humanistic emphases in spirituality/well-being in their research instruments, evidence is provided from recent findings that show that relating with God is the most important of the four sets of relationships for spiritual well-being. Further evidence is provided that God is the most influential Transcendent to enhance people’s relationships with themselves and others. Although researchers are free to choose the nature of questions raised in their projects, findings presented here clearly show that any research that cuts God out of the equation is excising the foundation of spirituality/well-being.

Sometimes silence is mistakenly regarded as something that reflects a peaceful organizational environment where everyone is happy and satisfied. According to related research though, employees in certain organizations might refrain from open communication and sharing of knowledge for the simple purpose of being misregarded as a “problem maker” or of just being ignored by their managers. Silence by the employees represents a largest hurdle for organizational learning, innovation, and change that has a vital role in an organization’s sustainable performance. In this paper, we are trying to investigate the concept of organizational silence as it relates to leadership, by trying to understand it specifically from the perspective of servant leadership. As to our knowledge, no single study or a theoretical paper has tried to elaborate these two concepts at the same time.

The readers are suggested the concept of “human”, in which the central position belongs not to “personality” but to human per se. Such approach is not set for the Ukrainian pedagogical science and practice yet. In the article the author gives a formula which in fact defines structural components of the concept of “human”, their place and role. On the basis of the author’s own investigations it is justified that this Conception is needed by teachers and it is going to be introduced into educational process, and that will lead to radical changes in school practice.

Hence, a teacher foresees the things that depend on his/her activities and knows what should be observed in a child.
