Those who adhere to a faith tradition are longing for theories and insights into how they can be true to their faith within the workplace and yet be sensitive and respectful to others of varying faith commitments and beliefs. Yet for Christians, respect of other faith traditions is especially difficult since Christianity as the dominate religion has become secularized and institutionalized within the workplace as represented in holidays and days off

Within the multiple theoretical and research dimensions of management, religion and spirituality, this book explores theoretical, conceptual and strategic theories and research which consider how individuals and organizations integrate their Christian faith in the workplace, and how these groups attempt to change society as a whole. This historical movement is characterized by a desire for people to live a holistic life which integrates their Christian faith into the workplace, also deemed “faith at work”

Historically, Christian’s faith integration is manifested individually or collectively and is demonstrated in the ways it shapes and informs the values systems, ethics, character and attitudes towards work. This edited volume draws themes out of the three historical epochs of the faith and work movement traced by Miller (2007) in the book, God at work: The history and promise of the faith at work movement. These organizing themes, while not congruent to the historical epochs, do capture the ways in which people of faith have historically attempted to integrate their faith into the workplace. These themes include: Individual integration, organizational strategies for integration and societal integration.

4.16.1.5.1;(a) Work as necessity for life or to live. The necessity of work to earn a living is probably a widely-shared meaning of work. Leo XIII present this meaning with special reference to laborers. He stated that work is necessary because “without the r...;137
4.16.1.5.2;(b) Work as a personal activity that gives a human resealing to production. Leo XIII presented this second meaning. Work is personal, he said, “inasmuch as the force which acts is bound up with the personality and is the exclusive property of him w...;137
4.16.1.5.3;(c) Works as creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. This is a consequence of the personal character of work. Creativity and innovation –the essence of entrepreneurial spirit– accompany work, to a greater or lesser degree, especially if work is no...;138
4.16.1.5.4;(d) Work as a calling. CST takes the view that work is a calling or vocation. Every person is endowed with talents and they try to put them into action working for good causes. The theological perspective presents the vocational sense of human work r...;138
4.16.1.5.5;(e) Work as a means of personal development. In brief, through work people can grow as human beings. John Paul II is very explicit: “Work is a good thing for man—a good thing for his humanity—because through work man not only transforms nature,...;139
4.16.1.5.6;(f) Work as service. Work entails service for the usefulness of products or immediate results of work, for the know-how developed through work which may be applicable for future work. Indirectly, work is a means of serving one’s own family and perh...;139
4.16.1.5.7;(g) Work as a moral duty. Every man has the duty of working faithfully (Gaudium et Spes, n. 67). John Paul II provides two arguments for this duty (1981, n. 16). The first is that the human being must work, both because the Creator has commanded it a...;139
4.16.1.5.8;(h) Work as a means of establishing human relations and for uniting people. By working persons join their fellow people (Gaudium et Spes, n. 67), and this creates relationships. John Paul II goes beyond this by stating that “it is characteristic of...;139
4.16.1.5.9;(i) Work as a transcendent and spiritual activity. “The individual human being may be given the meaning which it has in the eyes of God and by means of which work enters into the salvation” (John Paul II, n. 24). Around this, Christian faith has ...;140
