(Dis)Missing the Obvious

Will Mainstream Management Research Ever Take Religion Seriously?

James E. King, Jr

University of Alabama

Even though religion plays a significant role in the lives and interactions of individuals, societies, and nations, the management field has only lightly and narrowly explored how religion's influence manifests in the workplace. Our limited exploration and understanding in this area is particularly problematic in light of the increasingly religiously diverse U.S. workforce, the legal protections granted workplace religious expression, and the increasingly global, and therefore increasingly religiously diverse, business environment. An open discussion of often unspoken underlying reasons for the field's reluctance to investigate religion's influence in workplace dynamics is undertaken, and it is challenged as to whether the often voiced obstacles to scholarly research on religion and work are as prohibitive as many would suggest.

Key Words: religion • spirituality • diversity • human resource management • organizational behavior
