Abstract

Mykolas Deikus earned his two BAs in Theology and Psychology. He earned his MA in Pastoral Theology at Vytautas Magnus University in Lithuania. He is a PhD researcher at Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas, Lithuania. Mykolas Deikus leads the nonprofit institution "Konsensas" and volunteers by providing spiritual assistance to victims of workplace mobbing. He also works as a Research Fellow in the Faculty of Economics and Management at Vytautas Magnus University.

His research focuses on the intersection of workplace and individual well-being, spiritual support services, and organizational culture, aiming to develop new service models that promote psychological, emotional, social, and moral resilience. Much of his work centers on assisting victims of workplace mobbing. However, his broader academic inquiry extends to understanding how structured well-being interventions can enhance overall life satisfaction, ethical decision-making, and personal fulfillment. He is part of the research project titled "A Model of Religious Spiritual Assistance for Victims of Workplace Mobbing: Attracting New Resources to Support a Healthy and Safe Work Environment." His surveys combine quantitative and qualitative research methods to explore the impact of spiritual and psychological assistance on workplace dynamics, personal morality, and mental health, contributing to practical service solutions for improving well-being in various social contexts.

By integrating theology, psychology, and management studies, he examines how structured support services can enhance not only workplace well-being but also broader aspects of personal and moral development, such as emotional regulation, ethical leadership, social connectedness, and resilience against life stressors. His work also includes service marketing perspectives, analyzing how perceived value, trust, and moral integrity influence the adoption of well-being services in professional and personal environments. He explores how organizations and communities can effectively communicate and position ethically grounded, human-centered well-being services, ensuring accessibility, credibility, and long-term impact.

Through this interdisciplinary approach, he contributes to innovative assistance programs that help individuals and organizations build safer, more inclusive, and morally responsible environments. His work also addresses service engagement, user experience, and loyalty-building strategies, exploring how well-being initiatives can be adapted and sustained across different areas of life beyond the workplace.
