Abstract:

The question arises as to whether there is a place for spirituality in management and how spirituality could contribute to better business results.In today's crisis of values, but also of the identity of the individual and the identity of the state, it is certainly accompanied by the economic crisis and a new space of dialogue and cooperation is opened between different organizations, peoples and interest-influential groups. Issues of business ethics, social responsibility, sustainability, and organizational culture, trust, and authenticity in leadership are just some of the issues that surface. An example of good practice is the example of Mepkin Abbey where Trappist monks live and work. They set high quality standards with their products- beer, cheese. Trappist monks owe their business success to strict principles that include: mission-oriented, selflessness and sacrifice, putting the community before the individual, authenticity and trust, and a focus on excellence. Good practice is the example of monks from Trappist Mepkin Abbey who set high quality standards with their products. Religious monks owe their business success to strict principles that include mission-oriented, selflessness and sacrifice, putting the community before the individual, authenticity and trust, and a focus on excellence. Management theorists are talking about transcendental organization as well as spiritual intelligence as some new business paradigm and experience that appears as answers for new problems and challenges.In this paper we will clarify whether it is possible to apply strict rules of Trappist monks in business organizations and are those rules similar to some other business practice: Japanese management for example. Furthermore, we wonder if there are any limitations or obstacles to such an issue and will spirituality be one of the new trends in the future that will shape and determine new employees, jobs and organizations as well as values.
