Giving Meaning to Work: The Spiritual Challenge of Our Time

Ingeborg Gabriel

Chapter Chapter One in Finding Meaning in Business, 2012, pp 3-11 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Since the beginning of this millennium our world has been undergoing drastic transformations, which leaves no area of our lives unaffected. This can particularly be felt in the world of business and affects our attitude toward work as such. Consequences of this development are a growing competition that tends to erode moral values, an exaggerated pressure to succeed, which may become destructive for the physical, moral, and spiritual integrity of the person, and an increasing instability and insecurity of working conditions that negatively affects the motivation to work. It is to these and similar problems that a spirituality of work has to give an answer.
