Abstract
The process in which managers integrate insights from spiritual development into their working lives is complex and has received only little scholarly attention. This paper employs a sensemaking lens and uses the cosmology episodes approach to analyze a 10-year longitudinal, in-depth single-case study. This unique study reveals that the process contains several iterations of successive cosmology episodes and the role of spirituality shifts accordingly. In addition, the concept of transformative pivots is used to understand how shifts advance the process in sensemaking as the manager is cast from rigid sense-losing into resilient sense-losing and improvising. While in alignment with previous accounts of spiritual integration, this paper adds by providing an in-depth longitudinal understanding of a single case and revealing the underlying structure seen through a sensemaking lens.
