Abstract

Weber (1902; 1978) coined the term, the spirit of capitalism referring to the logic or rationality that underlies the market-capitalist system as a whole. Since then, a rational view of spirit has become the dominant paradigm of the spirit that animates capitalist market behavior. After providing a brief overview of the historical context in which the concept was developed, a first step is made in this paper to broaden the notion of a rational, capitalistic spirit and its influence in leadership and organizational change theories followed by suggestions for further research.
