TOWARDS A THEORY OF SPIRITUALITY IN THE WORKPLACE

In spite of the importance of spirituality and the attention given to it by the media, research on the impact of spirituality in the workplace has been lacking. This paper attempts to stimulate academic interest in the topic by reviewing some of the management and psychology literature on spirituality. The paper takes a few steps towards resolving some of the definitional problems, and advances some preliminary propositions on the relationship between spirituality and job performance and behavior.
