Abstract

Despite the recent explosion in the scholarly works on spirituality and religion in organizations, the field is theoretically underdeveloped. This introductory chapter introduces a threefold meta-theoretical classification to help make sense of the variety of different understandings of spirituality and religion in organizing and managing. Scientific-rational, social-cultural and metaphysical-theological perspectives each view spirituality and religion from distinctive philosophical and ontological-epistemological position. It is argued that the third perspective, metaphysical-theological paradigm , has received a limited attention in discussions, and it is one of the aims of this book to introduce and explore its usefulness in understanding and appreciating spirituality and religiousness in organizing and managing.
