Work as Service to the Divine
Giving our Gifts Selflessly and with Joy
JUDI NEAL
University of New Haven
This article begins with a brief overview of trends in spirituality in the workplace and then reports qualitative results of research interviews conducted with people who see work as service to the Divine. Issues of work as prayer, service to others, ego and selflessness, and making a difference are discussed. A brief summary of research by Kurth (1995) is provided. The article concludes with a description of spiritual practices that support an attitude of service.
