“…We found that religiosity was positively associated with both personal image (r = .125, p < .01) and personal well-being (r = .230, p < .01). These findings are consistent with studies that have found that individuals who report strong attachment to observing religious life report in general better physical and mental health (Burroughs and Rindfleisch 2002;Frankel and Hewitt 1994).…”

“…Thompson and Dahling 2010) and, according to human self-actualization theory (Kasser and Ryan 1996), personal well-being (the value attached to physical and mental health) has been found to be positively associated with self-actualization and growth tendencies and the constraint of negative behaviours such as smoking and drinking among students (e.g. see Frankel and Hewitt 1994).…”

This study brings models of value theory and motivational goal theory together to investigate the relationship between lifestyle values (materialism, religiosity, physical well-being and image) and achievement goal orientation of college students enrolled in vocational programmes in Thailand (N = 1670, males = 38.5% and females = 61.5%). We found associations between various lifestyle values and achievement goal orientation. Multiple regression analyses found a positive association with religiosity and personal well-being on the adoption of mastery goals and a positive association with materialism and personal image on the adoption of performance goals. These findings are interpreted with respect to self-determination theory.

“…Initial studies, most of which have focused on patients with advanced disease, suggest that cancer patients with stronger religious ties have more favorable psychosocial adjustment and health-related quality of life (e.g., less pain, anxiety, fear of death) than those who are less religious [22,24,47,50]. Epidemiological and clinical research has also suggested links between religious involvement and better health behaviors (e.g., exercise, nutrition [27,33]), less use of medical services [12], and lower rates of morbidity or mortality from cancer [14] and other chronic diseases [10,[28][29][30].…”

Despite increasing interest in the relationship between religious involvement and health outcomes for cancer patients, research has been limited by the lack of appropriate measures. Few of the many instruments available are well suited to cancer patients. The current study examined the psychometric properties of one recently developed measure, the Duke Religious Index (DRI), which assesses several aspects of religious involvement. The DRI was evaluated in two distinct samples: 104 cancer patients receiving treatment at a bone marrow transplantation program and 175 gynecology clinic patients. The instrument demonstrated good internal consistency (coefficient alphas 0.87-0.94). Moderate to high correlations with other measures of religiosity provided support for convergent validity. Modest relationships with other measures commonly used in psychosocial oncology (e.g., optimism, social support, purpose in life) indicated that the instrument provides unique information (all rs's < 0. 42). Small relationships with social desirability response bias, negative affect, and relationship cohesion further supported the divergent validity of the instrument (all rs's < 0.22). The DRI was significantly associated with demographic characteristics but not with medical variables. Findings support the value of the DRI for use in oncology settings.

“…In particular, there is a large body of evidence to suggest that those who are affiliated with a religious group experience greater levels of positive emotions, such as happiness and satisfaction, in comparison to nonaffiliated individuals (Frankel and Hewitt 1994). One explanation for this finding is that, for many, religious groups provide support, meaning, and an optimistic orientation toward life (Myers 2000).…”

Spirituality, religion, and emotional labor in the workplace

Emotional labor is the regulation of emotional displays as part of a work role. To date, minimal research has considered how spirituality and religion impact the performance and consequences of emotional labor, which is an important omission given a growing awareness that religion and spirituality are important components of people’s lives that continue to inform their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors while at work. Accordingly, we review the literature on emotional labor and develop a series of research questions that focus on issues such as the interplay between organizational and religious expectations for emotional displays toward others, as well as the ability of religious support and beliefs to buffer the negative effects of emotional labor on individual employees. Our hope is that these ideas spark interdisciplinary research on emotional labor that draws on a wider body of perspectives in management.
