Workplace spirituality and virtue ethics

Abstract

There is an established and significant corpus of literature exploring the connections between spirituality and ethics. Within this literature, there has been some focus on the virtues and their relationship to spiritual practice. Of late, organizational scholars have sought to apply these ideas (virtue ethics and spirituality) to the workplace. This chapter provides a review of current thought in this area, along with empirical research and best practice. It focuses on both individual and organizational levels.
