Abstract

The exponential growth in interest in workplace spirituality is influenced by many factors including contemporary post-materialist workers seeking meaning and purpose at work as alternatives to, or in addition to wealth accumulation as the primary function of work. The focus of this chapter is to expand upon the spirituality discussion by introducing and examining the concept of workplace spirituality, including the definition, theoretical framework, and literature summary of workplace spirituality. This is followed by the establishment of a valid construct, and research on the effects and consequences of workplace spirituality. The relationship between workplace spirituality and religion is also examined. The role of ethics in workplace spirituality will be examined. The servant, authentic, spiritual, and values leadership styles and models will be examined within the context of workplace spirituality. The chapter concludes with examination of spiritual leadership, and spiritual capital within the context of workplace spirituality.
