We examine how ethics and spirituality are part of one holistic framework shaping the organizational decision-making processes. This conceptual paper addresses: How Yogic Yamas and Niyamas (disciplinary restraints and observances) as expressions of spirituality led ethics, can enrich ethical decision making towards a trustful environment sustainably. Three philosophical texts for Aṣṭāṅga Yoga in Indian spiritual traditions were used through hermeneutics-based, qualitative-research methodology. Among the salient contributions, we explore the concepts of Āstikya (belief or trust in higher consciousness) and Īśvarapraṇidhāna (committing what one does to higher consciousness) for enriching the discourse on spirituality-led ethical decision making. We propose an integrative approach to achieve coherent decisions by bringing a universal and contextual spiritual base for coping with crises.
