Abstract: Many organizations are driven by technology. If you consider the nature of workforce shortages and recruiting challenges in areas like artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, it is important to understand how organizations need to recruit diverse technology-savvy talent including those from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and religions. There have been several incidents in the United States that point to significant problems with religious incivility in the workplace. In 2016, when the company Chargrill fired 150 non-Christian workers over prayer breaks, the incident points to a growing challenge in the American workplace about what companies can do to accommodate their employees' faiths. This article explores the literature on religious conflict and incivility since there needs to be more exploration on how religious conflict and incivility manifests itself through everyday interactions in the hyper-connected and cyber-driven workplace.
