Religion in a Changing Workplace

Autor Elaine Howard Ecklund, Denise Daniels, Christopher P. Scheitle
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 dec 2024

Remarcăm relevanța imediată a acestui volum pentru liderii de organizații și specialiștii în resurse umane care navighează complexitatea politicilor de diversitate și incluziune (D&I). Într-un context profesional în care angajații sunt încurajați să își exprime întreaga identitate, religia devine un punct de intersecție critic, dar adesea evitat de frica conflictelor. Religion in a Changing Workplace oferă o bază empirică solidă, rezultată din cinci ani de cercetare riguroasă, pentru a transforma această incertitudine într-o oportunitate de coeziune organizațională.

Credem că forța acestui studiu rezidă în metodologia sa vastă: peste 15.000 de chestionare și 300 de interviuri care documentează modul în care credința influențează performanța și interacțiunile sociale. Găsim în această lucrare o continuare firească a preocupărilor autorilor Elaine Howard Ecklund și Christopher P. Scheitle, care în Religion vs. Science au investigat percepțiile publice asupra științei. Aici, ei mută focusul spre dinamica puterii și integrarea valorilor personale în spațiul corporativ. Cititorii familiarizați cu Religion and the Workplace de Douglas A. Hicks vor aprecia modul în care acest volum actualizează dezbaterea, trecând de la teoria negocierii angajamentelor spirituale la date statistice concrete care demonstrează cum identitatea religioasă poate fi un catalizator pentru alte tipuri de diversitate.

Stilul este unul precis, orientat spre date, evitând speculațiile teologice în favoarea unei analize sociologice clare. Structura narativă ghidează cititorul prin provocările specifice ale diferitelor tradiții religioase, oferind soluții practice pentru crearea unui mediu de lucru respectuos. Este o resursă esențială pentru înțelegerea modului în care secularismul și credința coexistă în instituțiile moderne.

Cititorul câștigă acces la unul dintre cele mai mari studii realizate vreodată pe tema credinței la locul de muncă, primind instrumente concrete pentru a gestiona diversitatea religioasă fără a genera conflicte, transformând identitatea spirituală într-un activ organizațional valoros.


Despre autor

Elaine Howard Ecklund este profesor de sociologie la Universitatea Rice (anterior la University at Buffalo) și o autoritate recunoscută în studiul intersecției dintre religie, știință și viață publică. Activitatea sa este definită de utilizarea metodelor de cercetare pe scară largă pentru a demonta miturile despre secularizare. Alături de Christopher P. Scheitle, a explorat în lucrări anterioare tensiunile dintre viziunile religioase și rigoarea științifică, experiență care fundamentează abordarea echilibrată din acest volum publicat de Oxford University Press.


Descriere

Employees are increasingly embracing the notion of "bringing their whole selves to work," and many employers are encouraging them. Those whole selves often include religious identities, however, and that can make things complicated. Employers can be uncertain about how to respond to workers' religious identities and afraid that such expression will lead to conflict.Elaine Howard Ecklund, Denise Daniels, and Christopher P. Scheitle have conducted more than 15,000 surveys and 300 in-depth interviews on the subject of faith at work in the US. In this thoughtful exploration of religious identities in the workplace--the culmination of five years of research--the authors make the case for inclusion and argue that employers should accommodate religious self-expression at work. Their data-driven but accessible approach uses up-to-date research to show how a wide range of workers understand their work vis-a-vis their faith, and how religious identities overlap with--and may be key to fostering--other kinds of diversity. By looking at how workers from a variety of religious traditions and social groups are bringing their faith into the workplace, the authors identify why and how organizations can foster a diversity of religious beliefs and expressions in the workplace. This book will help organizational leaders, workers, and scholars understand both the challenges and benefits of the integration of faith at work and to respond thoughtfully and respectfully to the presence of religion in the workplace.

Recenzii

Religion in a Changing Workplace is based on a landmark study of religion and work in America. With their rich and exhaustive data, Ecklund, Daniels, and Scheitle illuminate both the salience and challenges of integrating faith and work, and offer insightful recommendations for creating thriving workplaces for all employees. The book is a must-read for scholars, students, and management professionals who want to understand the contours of religion in the workplace today.
As a growing number of corporations are adding faith and belief initiatives to their diversity and belonging initiatives, this essential book by Ecklund, Daniels and Scheitle will help employers see why people's deeply held beliefs and worldviews are not just something to be tolerated, but are business assets that inspire and motivate the work lives and careers of millions. Indeed, as the workplace changes and populations become more religiously diverse, it is undeniable that the next big thing in workplace DEI programs is religion.
This would be a very interesting book for someone working in an HR department to read, as they could refer to the research when recommending certain policies and procedures or proposing a shift in the organization's work culture. This book is also a great reference for any academic studying or teaching in the social sciences or business fields. The empirical research is solid and provides much evidence for recommending freedom of faith within the workplace.
This book is helpful for religious studies scholars and sociologists of religion interested in the US's changing religious demographics, religion and public life, religion and work, religion and immigration, and religion and law. It also offers helpful material for organizations and organizational leaders interested in fostering inclusive workplaces.
People who study and lead organizations will find helpful guidance in this book.
Religion in a Changing Workplace is a methodologically-rigorous, eminently readable, and theoretically meaningful contribution to the social science of faith integration. I highly recommend Religion in a Changing Workplace for Christian business scholars who are interested in understanding predictors, moderators, and outcomes of faith integration in the workplace.
