Abstract

This chapter investigates how organizational actors organize for belonging and explains how emotions and values play a role in these institutional processes. Through a qualitative study of a religious organization that has extensive experience in fostering belonging via everyday actions and practices, the chapter illustrates how actions of inquiring, valuing, trusting, empowering, and we-ing play a role in fostering belonging among the volunteers of the religious organization and for the communities in which people live their lives. Further, the chapter also highlights the role of emotions as triggers driving actions toward belonging.
