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 examines the impact of nationality composition within subsidiary top management teams (STMTs) on subsidiary performance. It first gives a review of the multinational team literature. It concludes that nationality diversity is beneficial when it is relevant to a multinational team's task. The study then draws upon two complementary theoretical perspectives: knowledge and legitimacy. It proposes that a heterogeneous STMT nationality composition may enhance subsidiary performance with the effect being stronger in subsidiaries of longer years of operation. Hypotheses were tested in a sample of STMTs from Japanese Multinational Corporations. The study finds that STMT nationality heterogeneity was positively related to subsidiary labor productivity. An interaction effect was also f...

With scientific research growing increasingly multidisciplinary in nature, team playing and communication skills have become critical in the achievement of scientific breakthroughs. This study adds valuable evidence to the oft-cited "productivity puzzle" in the sciences by comparing the work styles, attitudes, and productivity of female and male scientists. The application of t-test analysis to data on scientists from the United Kingdom and the Netherlands indicates that women report relatively higher abilities in communication skills and teamwork than men. Also, both female and male scientists report difficulties in balancing work and family responsibilities, but proportionately more women than men rely on outside sources of childcare. A separate distribution analysis of academic produ...
