What do managers and executives believe and feel about workplace spirituality or assessments of its purported benefits ? In this article, the authors present the results of a two - year empirical study based on face - to -face interviews and questionnaires. Participants differentiated strongly between religion and spirituality, viewing religion as a highly inappropriate form of expression and spirituality as a highly appropriate subject for the workplace. Most believed strongly that organizations must harness the immense spiritual energy within each person in order to produce world - class products and services. Meaning and purpose on the job are imparted by (ranked from highest to lowest in importance) : (1) "the ability to realize my full potential as a person" ; (2) being associated with a good organization or an ethical organization ; (3) interesting work ; (4) making money ; (5) having good colleagues and serving humankind ; (6) service to future generations ; and (7) "service to my immediate community." Beyond a certain threshold, the authors point out, pay ceases to be the most important factor in work life, and higher needs prevail ; the desire for "self - actualization" becomes paramount.
