Comment(s): "The updated and revised edition of the Handbook of Workplace Spirituality and Organizational Performance provides a timely and rigorous approach to understanding of spirituality and work. The book's overarching framework clearly delineates how spirituality differs from religiosity, and the chapters shed clear insight into the scholarly rationale for approaching workplace spirituality as a discipline." -- Sandra Waddock, Boston College
"This volume brings rigor and clarity to a concept that is often dismissed as beyond the scope of science--namely, spirituality--and it brings meaning and profound insight to terms that are usually void of any connection to spirituality. The handbook provides the core foundation for spirituality in the workplace and its connection to organizational effectiveness. It is a volume that should be on the shelf of every organizational scholar and spiritual practitioner." -- Kim Cameron, University of Michigan
"The publication of this Second Edition of the Handbook of Workplace Spirituality and Organizational Performance is a testament to the growing importance of the topic of workplace spirituality. Drs. Giacalone and Jurkiewicz have edited a collection of theoretical and practical contributions that provides a welcome addition to any teacher's and scholar's collection on the subject." -- Jerry Biberman, University of Scranton
"Thorough, comprehensive and ground-breaking. The new edition of the Handbook of Workplace Spirituality and Organizational Performance is a must-have for your personal library. With a wide range of engaging topics addressed in chapters by many leading authors, this volume will help you better understand where we've been and where we are going in the domain of Spirituality at Work." -- Charles C Manz, University of Massachusetts-Amherst
"Giacalone and Jurkiewicz have assembled an impressive collection of prominent scholars to contribute to the Handbook of Workplace Spirituality and Organizational Performance. Along with updated contributions to the first edition, the second edition provides new insights into the integration of spirituality with topics such as hope, ethics, and crisis management. As the first edition was a springboard for research integrating spirituality and the workplace, I expect that the second edition will be a catalyst for research of even greater depth and rigor in this important field." -- J. B. (Ben) Arbaugh, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh
