Work spirituality in Today's Organizational Society

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 be¬ings. Taking into account the ethical and spiritual gaps in the contemporary world and human's per¬manent preoccupation with the philosophy of life, spirituality discourse is one of most impor-tant issues that has been taken into account in order to link the traditional world values and mod-ern ones. Organizations as one of the most prevalent bodies in today's societies are one of the most dominant areas where spiritual-based approaches are developing.

In this library-based research, the necessity of paying attention into spirituality in organiza¬tions and workplaces is demonstrated. In this regard, the dimensions, benefits, and de-velop¬ment of work spirituality will be discussed.

With regard to the omnipresence of organizations in societies and different conse-quences of their operation, the emergence of work spirituality in organizations seems inevitable.

The present article empha¬sizes the necessity of conducting empirical studies in this area and implementing their re-sults in Iran.
