Research for Practitioners*

In this issue, we share the reading list from the recently concluded OM RISE International Workshop on Building an Academic Discipline of Spirituality in Management and Society. The workshop focused on advancing our discussion on the discipline of spirituality for management and society. The workshop discussions were oriented to eventually build education, research, and practice elements to develop spirituality as a recognized academic discipline. We hope the following reading list gives an opportunity to researchers and practitioners alike to connect with the themes of the ongoing work at OM RISE.
