In his unique way, André, informed by his solid knowledge of organizational processes and his Christian faith, integrated spirituality into his teaching and scholarship. First I offer an overview of his early career roots which laid the foundation for this work and the impetus for his work on MSR, which defined the later years of his long and distinguished career. Then I review the context and motivations that led to his offering a seminar on Spirituality for Organizational Leadership, from which evolved what he saw as successful strategies for MSR scholarship and teaching. Next, comes an overview of his view of the fundamental role MSR should play in organizational design and culture, with an emphasis on teamwork and decision-making. Following this is an exploration of his groundbreaking work on leadership formation with a focus on the spiritual journey, discernment, and humility as an offset to hubris. Finally his thoughts concerning “Where do we go from here’ are offered.","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82127283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aldag","doi":"10.1080/14766086.2019.1680417","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14766086.2019.1680417","url":null,"abstract":"I appreciate this opportunity to convey reflections on my more than four decades of personal and professional interactions with André. André was exceptional in many ways, some of them perhaps not obvious. I joined the University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty in 1973 (where I remain active after 46 years). I met André during my job interview visit in 1972. He immediately impressed me as positive, nurturing, and thoughtful. He took me for a campus tour, culminating with a steep climb up Bascom Hill to our administrative building, Bascom Hall. This was immediately after the anti-war protests and riots at Wisconsin, which led to the bombing death of a researcher at Sterling Hall; the bombing was one of the incidents featured in the still-haunting 1979 documentary, “The War at Home.” Students were charging up the hill toward National Guard members, swarming in what seemed to me like mindless rage. I said, “Those students are attacking the soldiers!” André very calmly responded, “They’re doing that all the time” and we continued to walk on. The scene was vividly real, but somehow surreal, giving me an intriguing initial glimpse into a remarkable personality. My early knowledge of André’s theory and research (especially on the Nominal Group Technique – the NGT) deeply impressed me. There was then quite an interest in the relative merits of nominal (coacting) and interacting groups. With Andy Van de Ven and Dave Gustafson – both superb scholars – André proposed a structured process alternating coacting and interacting groups as appropriate. In my view, the NGT (now used and lauded worldwide) was elegant – recognizing that different group interaction modes were not necessarily alternatives but, properly shepherded, complements. This was a recurring theme for André, the search for complementarities in the face of apparent opposition; it demonstrated to me a richly integrative mindset. André was an early mentor for me, in ways a spiritual guide. I was honored that he invited me to serve as a co-author for a 1974 Health Services Research article on evaluation of health system alternatives, a topic that has continued to intrigue me. André provided counsel ever since and felt like a constant, supportive presence. He provided valuable suggestions – and a superb role model – for many of my professional and personal decisions. It’s hard for me to believe that he left Wisconsin forty years ago. André saw himself as an introvert. Someone casually meeting him may have viewed him as rather reserved and sedate, but he reached out to touch many people in profound","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79157678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The major themes of the interviews included Andre’s qualities, his spirituality, the ways in which he was an exemplar to others, and descriptions of Andre’s presence. More specifically, interviewees spoke about his loving friendship, his wisdom, his invisible guiding hand, his willingness to be personal and vulnerable, and his deep commitment to his Catholic faith while still being incredibly inclusive and knowledgeable about other religious traditions. Many saw him as an exemplar of how they strive to be in the world. .","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79805682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we elaborate on the phenomenon of rising non-religiosity. Next, we analyze how this rise of the non-religious population could affect businesses and organizations. We conclude by pointing out some ways in which managers can deal with this increasingly important phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90668451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we seek to clarify interdisciplinary work highlighting the role communication plays in the development of the dark side of a calling. Second, we consider the complexity of humility as an organizational value. Third, we suggest humility functions as a mitigating frame against job idolization, workaholism, and exploitation for those who perceive of their work as a calling and for those with whom they work (as leaders, followers, or peers). We propose that at the heart of a healthy work calling is a robust integration of humility, and conclude by outlining promising directions to better understand the discursive implications of humility and work calling outcomes.","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75784803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Broad-ranging initiatives, e.g. Principles for Responsible Management Education and the Sustainable Development Goals, attempt to reshape business as a force for good, yet evidence of scandalous business behavior continues to raise troubling doubts. This literature review introduces a healing perspective grounded in spirituality as applied in the health professions. This perspective aligns with Judaism’s principle of Tikkun Olam, the obligation to repair and perfect the world, proposed as a basis for business transformation. Invoking Tikkun Olam potentially impacts current understandings of Corporate Social Responsibility and reveals a sacred dimension to the adoption of sustainability initiatives. The article contributes to the literature on transformational approaches to exercising responsibility and embedding sustainability in contemporary business.","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76344299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a multi-sited, qualitative case study of Cistercian monasteries in France, this article brings an archetypal setting of normative control into the purview of sociological research on work and organization. It reveals a tension between the hierarchical organization of work and the ideology of all forms of work as “services” of equal importance and shows how the ideology affects the experiences of member differently depending on their position. Whereas those who feel recognized become spokespersons, less privileged members are not only discontent, but this experience also constitutes a failure to obey “gladly.” Because members have chosen to enter a monastery, it is up to them to reach a state of acceptance regardless of the work position they have. The notion of ascetic responsibilization conceptualizes the mechanism behind this reasoning, which serves to maintain a status quo in monastic power relations.","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80027357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find a significantly positive relationship between religiosity and dividend payouts, with firms headquartered in higher religiosity areas paying more dividends than firms located in lower religiosity areas. We also find no relationship between religiosity and stock returns. An additional test also suggests that religiosity of Italian firms could mitigate agency costs. Our results are consistent with the “bird-in-the-hand theory” and generally consistent with the empirical literature on the relationship between social values (local culture) and corporate decisions. Since religiosity is a determinant of dividend payouts, it also is an appropriate explanatory variable when examining the behavior of a firm’s dividend policies.","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84394314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research indicates that the supervision and punishment aspects of God, and secular authorities are able to improve prosocial actions. This present study examines whether clawback that has a punishment feature moderates the effect of religiosity on the intention to manipulate earnings. This study uses an experimental method with 266 participants who are personnel from finance departments. Our results suggest that the main effect of religiosity has no significant effect on the reduction of accruals manipulation. However, the interaction of religiosity and clawback has a significant effect. Although we find that clawback strengthens the negative influence of religiosity on accrual manipulation, we find that it strengthens the positive influence of religiosity on manipulation of real activity.","PeriodicalId":46503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Spirituality & Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90477865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
