Summary:

The Handbook of Workplace Spirituality and Organizational Performance is the first comprehensive, research-based, interdisciplinary, and action-oriented approach to spirituality in organizational life. The Handbook articulates and advocates a new approach to successful organizational performance -- in business, public service, and nonprofit sectors -- by bringing together the work of leading scholars who successfully integrate their work in spirituality with mainstream organizational research. Academics, graduate students, consultants, and management professionals will all find value in this important new handbook. It is the single best source for a detailed understanding of the practice of spirituality in the workplace, and how spirituality contributes to high levels of organizational and individual performance.
