ABSTRACT

More than fifty years ago, Ohmann (1955, 34) pondered how individuals could worship God on weekends and then “worship . . . mammon [riches] Mondays through Fridays.” Indeed, if emerging contemporary evidence is to be believed, many individuals are defining themselves as “seekers” who are less willing to consign their spirituality to nonwork hours and domains (see Lofland and Stark 1965). The search for spiritual fulfillment, or spiritual striving (Emmons 1999), appears to be increasingly manifested in work settings (Cash and Gray 2000; Gunther 2001; Mirvis 1997; Mitroff and Denton 1999).
