Abstract

This article intends to discuss religion, religiosity, and, especially, spirituality experiences in the organizational context. Based on an analysis of these variables' role in religious and non religious organizational contexts, the article points out to what extent spirituality can contribute, especially, to a deeper understanding of the work activity and how pleasant it can be. This text also reveals the motives which may explain a tendency to deny the bonds between spirituality, religiosity and religion within organizational context. Moreover, it suggests some critical readings of the proposition of using these variables in organizational context -as the recovery movement of classic religious values, now renamed to the work collective, updating old gaining profits strategies of the enterprises.
