Sustaining sustainability is now a matter of deep interest among academics and social scientists. There is an emerging opinion that there is a definite need to add spirituality as the fourth dimension to sustainability. The current meta-analytic study examined this aspect. The study used meta-analysis to examine the relationship between spirituality and sustainability. The research conducted using R-program has meticulously followed all the established protocols and rules of thumb regarding meta-analysis. The analysis was based on 34 studies identified from a preliminary search that yielded 1131 records retrieved from various databases. The study results show that spirituality has the potential to sustain sustainability. Further research could be carried out using more studies, as literature is only emerging in this area. It is expected that the present work will trigger further research on this exciting and fecund topic.
维持可持续性现在是学术界和社会科学家深感关注的问题。有一种观点认为，将精神层面作为第四个维度纳入可持续性发展是非常有必要的。本研究旨在探讨这一方面。本研究采用元分析来检验精神性与可持续性之间的关系。使用 R 语言进行的研究仔细遵循了元分析的所有既定协议和经验法则。分析基于从初步搜索中确定的 34 项研究，从各种数据库中检索到 1131 条记录。研究结果表明，精神性具有维持可持续性的潜力。由于该领域的文献才刚刚出现，因此可以开展更多研究。预计本研究将激发人们对这一令人兴奋且多产的课题的进一步研究。
