Work spirituality in Todayʹs Organizational Society

Background: The modern world has been successful in terms of scientific developments as well as providing social welfare for its people. However, it has failed to promote ethics among human beings. Taking into account the ethical and spiritual gaps in the contemporary world and humansʹ permanent preoccupation with the philosophy of life, spirituality discourse is one of most important issues that has been taken into account in order to link the traditional world values and modern ones. Organizations as one of the most prevalent bodies in todayʹs societies are one of the most dominant areas where spiritual-based approaches are developing. Method: In this library-based research, the necessity of paying attention into spirituality in organizations and workplaces is demonstrated. In this regard, the dimensions, benefits, and development of work spirituality will be discussed. Conclusion: With regard to the omnipresence of organizations in societies and different consequences of their operation, the emergence of work spirituality in organizations seems inevitable. Due to the dominance of rational and mechanistic paradigms, workplaces are in dire need of the promotion of spirituality. Different researches demonstrate that organizations are highly welcomed to this new paradigm and attempt to develop it in their workplaces. The present article emphasizes the necessity of conducting empirical studies in this area and implementing their results in Iran.
