While the field of management has developed as a research
discipline over the last century, until the early 1990s there was
essentially no acknowledgement that the human spirit plays an
important role in the workplace. Over the past twenty years, the
tide has begun to turn, as evidenced by the growing number of
courses in academia and in corporate training, and an exponential
increase in the publications emerging through creative interaction
of scholars and practitioners in organizational behaviour,
workplace diversity, sustainability, innovation, corporate
governance, leadership, and corporate wellness, as well as
contributions by psychotherapists, theologians, anthropologists,
educators, philosophers, and artists. This Handbook is the most
comprehensive collection to date of essays by the preeminent
researchers and practitioners in faith and spirituality in the
workplace, featuring not only the most current research and case
examples, but visions of what will be, or should be, emerging over
the horizon. It includes essays by the people who helped to pioneer
the field as well as essays by up and coming young scholars. Among
the questions and issues addressed: * What does it mean to be a
"spiritual" organization? How does this perspective challenge
traditional approaches to the firm as a purely rational,
profit-maximizing enterprise? * Is faith and spirituality in the
workplace a passing fad, or is there a substantial shift occurring
in the business paradigm? * How does this field inform emerging
management disciplines such as sustainability, diversity, and
social responsibility? * In what ways are faith and spirituality in
the workplace similar to progressive and innovative human resource
practices. Does faith and spirituality in the workplace bring
something additional to the conversation, and if so, what? The aim
of The Handbook of Faith and Spirituality in the Workplace is to
provide researchers, faculty, students, and practitioners with a
broad overview of the field from a research perspective, while
keeping an eye on building a bridge between scholarship and
practice.
