“…The appreciation and increase of spirituality in the workplace began in the 1990s, and management scholars took notice and began to explore the phenomenon (Ashmos and Duchon 2000, Biberman and Altman 2004, Dean and Fornaciari 2007, Neal and Vallejo 2008. As such, the definition of spirituality in the context of the workplace is formalized as "a framework of organizational values evidenced in the culture that promotes employees' experience of transcendence through the work process, facilitating their sense of being connected in a way that provides feelings of compassion and joy" (Giacalone and Jurkiewicz 2003, p. 13).…”

Our research is one of the first to examine spiritual leadership, which lies at the crossroads of workplace spirituality and transcendental leadership, within the context of family firms. We describe how the unique characteristics of family firms allow for and encompass spiritual leadership. First, we adapt the construct of spiritual leadership to the firm level. Then, analyzing dyadic data, we provide empirical support for the emerging theory of spiritual leadership by linking the spiritual bond between leader and follower to organizational citizenship behavior, a new dependent variable in the nomological net of spiritual leadership. We further explore the relationship in subsets of our data, finding that the relationship holds for family members but does not hold for non-family employees of the family business. Implications and avenues for future research are discussed.

“…This paper partially answers the call of scholars within the management, spirituality, and religion (MSR) fields for an in-depth exploration of the relationship between religion, spirituality, and ethics in the workplace (see Dean and Fornaciari 2007). The centrality of ethics in both stakeholder theory and Catholic Social Teaching provides MSR researchers with a useful way to understand how spiritually and religiously infused organizations can succeed in a diverse and globalized world.…”

A framework for a Catholic Stakeholder core

Despite extensive connections to ethics and philosophy, the literature on stakeholder theory has largely avoided direct linkages to religion and spirituality. At the same time, Catholic Social Teaching and other religious traditions have ignored any meaningful discussion of stakeholder theory. This paper connects the stakeholder literature and religion by presenting a framework that specifies macro-level core Catholic Social Teaching tenets and the normative business obligations derived from this doctrine. These obligations ground Catholic Stakeholder Thinking which represents the attendant meso-level responsibilities of managers and firms, as well as the priority rules for resolving stakeholder conflicts. The resulting articulation of Catholic doctrine to business expands not only the normative depth of stakeholder theory, but also the practicality and relevance of Catholic Social Teaching. Through their interactions with various stakeholders, firms and managers are encouraged to pursue the common good and integral human development in solidarity with the poor within their value chains.

“…In a comprehensive literature review spanning 1996 to 2005 on the "management, spirituality, and religion domain," Dean and Fornaciari (2007) called for further innovative and interdisciplinary empirical research on religion and ethical behavior in organizations owing to the paucity of research in this particular domain. In another Academy of Management study, Weaver and Agle (2002) reported that there have been relatively few empirical studies delineating the interaction of religion and business ethics, and they even went on to assert that inability to discover clear connection between religious role expectations and ethical behavior is analogous to a failure to analyze religious role expectations sufficiently.…”

The impact of intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity on ethical decision-making in management in a non-Western and highly religious country

The primary purpose of this study was to explore the indirect effect of intrinsic religiosity and extrinsic religiosity on ethical intention through ethical judgment. A review of the literature shows the need for more research at the intersection of religiosity and ethics, especially in non-Western, highly religious contexts. This research, therefore, addresses the research question: Do intrinsic religiosity and extrinsic religiosity indirectly impact ethical intention through influencing the ethical judgment of management professionals? Data were gathered from members of the Management Association of Pakistan through a questionnaire. Pearson correlation results show the overall trend between the constructs of interest. Multiple regression results show that both intrinsic religiosity and extrinsic religiosity are significant positive predictors of ethical judgment. Ethical judgment was also found to be a significant, positive predictor of ethical intention. The main contribution of the study is evidence that ethical judgment acts as a mediator between religiosity (whether intrinsic or extrinsic) and ethical intention in a non-Western highly religious context. This research also found that intrinsic religiosity impacts ethical intention directly as well as indirectly through ethical judgment, but extrinsic religiosity influences ethical intention only through its effect on ethical judgment. We discuss our results along with practical and research implications, and limitations of this research are highlighted to guide future research.
