Abstract

A person’s spirit is the vital principle or animating force traditionally believed to be the intangible, life-affirming force in the self and in all human beings.1 Now people, as part of their spiritual journey, are struggling with what this means for their work.2 Some are calling this trend “a spiritual awakening in the American workplace.”3 Patricia Aburdene in her recent book Megatrends 2010, states that the focus on spirituality in business is becoming so pervasive that it stands as “today’s greatest megatrend.” She contends that more and more people are making choices in the marketplace as “values-driven consumers” and the power of spirituality is increasingly impacting our personal lives and spreading into organizations to foster a moral transformation in them.
