Abstract: | Both the spirituality in organizations and managerial issues have been addressed through different religion-based beliefs.
In this article, one intends to enlarge it through the perspective of the Spiritist Doctrine (SD). Thus, it reviews the SD
literature, as well as spirituality in organizations theory to find common views. In addition, it (1) argued that SD tenets,
codified by Allan Kardec, also bring helpful contributions to work settings that differ from the traditional religion approaches
and (2) discussed its implications to managers’ spiritual development. It is posited that the SD tenets, while building on
and expanding Jesus Christ’s teachings, disclose us some severe implications related to our future. In a broader view, SD
tenets provide important warnings that encompass people work lives as well. Finally, we depict a framework that embraces corporate
life coupled with some factors that may likely build and enhances one’s spiritual progress, the potential spiritual rewards
derived from these factors, and the loci where the rewards are enjoyed. |
