Organisational spirituality has gained popularity. While some authors see a spiritually fulfilling workplace as a benefit for employees and organisations alike, critical authors point out the potentially totalising effects of organisations that try to colonise employees' minds, hearts and souls. Whereas most existing critical studies are based on literature analyses and mainly refer to societal developments and how organisations are affected by them, the paper at hand provides a single case study on the organisational level. The case study allows a more detailed examination of how organisations can employ spirituality to serve organisational goals. The article identifies three aspects in which workplace spirituality can be misused: to mislead members about the nature of their work, abou...

This study attempts to document the influence of social ties on two critical components of foreign market entry (FME) decisions by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs): timing of entry and resource commitment. An ethnic Chinese group serves as the best candidate to underlie this research because ethnic Chinese networks often build on personal connections that are based on regional collegiality and kinship. From a sample of 173 Taiwanese SMEs, hierarchical regression results indicate that social ties are significantly related to FME decisions by Taiwanese SMEs in terms of both the timing of entry and resource commitments.

IWilliam H Whyte's concept of organization man is now used in bowdlerized form, shorn of its polemical core. It was an appeal against the situation of people in the big organizations taking shape after World War Two, belonging to the organization rather than simply working for it, earning rewards that are also, in the end, traps. In the current worlds of agile organizations with serially loyal staff these people no longer exist, and in fact the only group that fits the Whyte pattern are dedicated priests. At the same time, the polemic is never more relevant than today because people live in a world in which they are closely surveilled on many levels using ever more sophisticated technology, and in which many human resource management practices increase the power of organization over ind...
