Management revue – Socio-Economic Studies (MREV), ISSN 0935-9915 – a peerreviewed,
interdisciplinary European social science journal publishing both qualitative and
quantitative work, as well as purely theoretical papers that advance management and
sociology research.
Our special issue addresses negotiations of the relationship between business and faith,
spirituality and religion in the contemporary world considering perspectives from different
religions like Christianity, Islam, Judaism and others (Neal, 2013). In the last two decades,
research on faith, spirituality and religion at work has developed as a distinct research area with particular strands focusing on management and leadership, on human resources
management, corporate governance, business ethics, or entrepreneurship.
Our special issue examines the topic of business and faith, spirituality and religion in the
contemporary world from the perspective of various disciplines, such as business
administration, theology, sociology, psychology, economics and ethics. Depending on the
quality and number of submissions, we plan either a single or a double issue. The following list
of topics provides an overview of the direction submissions could take. However, we also
explicitly invite different ideas for submission.
