Abstract
The purpose of this research is to propose a new company style based on a systematic review of literature, taking the Matthean beatitudes as a reference in relation to the actual needs of organizations. To such end, we searched for scientific articles in Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO, and ATLA databases. A considerable number of investigations were found on spirituality in organizations, but none specifically covered the biblical area. This study aims to suggest ways through which the human being can be at the center of organizations for a new style of business to emerge.

In the SRL of significant impact journals, there were no approaches related to biblical theology, in particular, with reference to the current status of research on Matthean beatitudes and organizations, which help to understand the human being as the center of organizations and foster a new company style. The reason for conducting this research is largely due to the fact that professionals in the area of administration have been trained to a larger extent to find solutions to problems for the company, but they lack humanistic training.
