Abstract:
Workplace spirituality is a construct widely discussed over the past few decades and it is a
much-disputed inquiry field which is gaining the interest of practitioners and scholars. Some
clarifications regarding concepts and definitions are necessary in order to structure and direct
the current debate. The aim of this conceptual article is to gain a better understanding regarding
the direction in which this field of study is progressing and to put the question on the table
namely, whether workplace spirituality is only a new tool to be used in leadership development
or is it a trend to be taken seriously? The results showed that this field has potential to further
development. This article can be used as foundation for future studies within the knowledge
area of practical theology.
