Starting from the volume Religion(s) and Organizations in the contemporary scenario (F. Angeli, 2022) and with the participation of leading representatives of important consulting companies, the event aims to contribute to increase awareness and discussion around the "place" of religion and spirituality in the workplace, conceived as a frontier issue, but at the same time already crucial in the life of companies. In the belief that adequate recognition of the religious and spiritual factor in the workplace can translate into benefits both for the quality of life of human resources and for the "health" - and performance itself - of organizations.

Read the abstract of the article: The “place” of the religious and spiritual dimension in organizational phenomena: it’s time to take off (M. Monaci - L. Zanfrini, 2022)
The article opens the monographic section dedicated to the relationship between religion(s) and organizations. After dwelling on the reasons of the scarce attention traditionally devoted to this nexus, the authors describe how this topic is now re-emerging almost unintentionally, through a research agenda that has gradually been enriched by contributions from different fields. They then review the main outcomes of its developments within organizational studies and highlight the most promising prospects for further study. Finally, they outline some points reaffirming the centrality of the issues addressed in the contemporary scenario.
