Some studies indicate a positive association between them, while other show negative relationship. So psychologists have distinguished two forms of religious experiences: external religiosity and internal religiosity. External religiosity is indicted in the form of attending the places of worships, rituals and other outward behaviors. Internal religiosity refers to attitude and values. Accordingly spiritually has been likened to internal religiosity. Spirituality, defined as a search for sacredness, not only highlights the search process; it also involves efforts to hold onto the sacred once it has been discovered .This paper highlights the role spiritualism in workplace and the individual role to develop spiritualism . In addition to effort of spiritually based leaders, organizations need to adopt some useful practices in this direction to face the upcoming challenges.

Abstract


In recent years psychologists have carried out a large numbers of studies to examine the relationship between religious experience and mental health. Some studies indicate a positive association between them, while other show negative relationship. So psychologists have distinguished two forms of religious experiences: external religiosity and internal religiosity. External religiosity is indicted in the form of attending the places of worships, rituals and other outward behaviors. Internal religiosity refers to attitude and values. Accordingly spiritually has been likened to internal religiosity. Spirituality, defined as a search for sacredness, not only highlights the search process; it also involves efforts to hold onto the sacred once it has been discovered .This paper highlights the role spiritualism in workplace and the individual role to develop spiritualism . In addition to effort of spiritually based leaders, organizations need to adopt some useful practices in this direction to face the upcoming challenges.
