THE ART AND SCIENCE OF PURPOSEFUL CULTURES

Spirituality in the workplace has been receiving increasing attention in literature since the 1990’s. Several popular books on spirituality and leadership (Conger, 1994; Bolman & Deal, 1995; Crossman, 2015), spirituality and ethics (Ayoun, Rowe & Yassine, 2015) spirituality and entrepreneurship (Chappell, 1994; Cohen & Greenfield, 1997), spirituality and service (Gatling, 2015) have also been published. In 1999 the Academy of Management established a special interest group ‘Management, Spirituality and Religion’ which subsequently developed a large membership.
