Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to present a theoretical model aimed at understanding the impact that workplace spirituality (WS) has on team effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach -A literature review uncovers aspects of the implications that WS has for organizations and how it is related to team effectiveness. Findings -A theoretical model aimed at understanding the effect of WS on team effectiveness is presented. It is proposed that workplace spirituality is an element of the organizational culture and that it has an important effect on team effectiveness. In this sense, trust, creativity and respect are hightlighted as being important attributes presented in those organizations in which WS is encouraged. Research limitations/implications -With regard to limitations, other attributes such as communication or cooperation could also be considered for inclusion about spirituality in the workplace. Also, the concept of national culture could introduce important and interesting implications. Originality/value -The paper contributes by analyzing the effects of WS on teams. Past literature had focused primarily on studying the impact of WS at the individual and organizational level.

This article aims to study the influence of leader motivating language on three elements of workplace spirituality. It is hypothesized that leader motivational speech will be positively related to inner life, sense of community, and meaningful work. Data from 337 individuals from the US was collected using Amazon Mechanical Turk. Results from partial least squares indicate that leader motivating language is positive and significantly related to the three elements of workplace spirituality. Leader motivating language helps create an environment where subordinates can express their spiritual identity at work, find community and meaning in their work activities. Discussion, limitations, and contributions are presented.

This study analyzes the competing roles of economic wealth and corruption on software piracy based on the supply-demand perspective. The study argues that even though greater economic wealth may encourage people to buy legal software instead of using pirated software, the ease of access to pirated copies in the open market as a result of corruption can have a stronger influence on the decision to use pirated software. The empirical results also reveal that while an increase in economic wealth can reduce software piracy, its effect tends to be moderated by the level of corruption in a country. These results indicate that a pricing strategy that makes software more affordable is not a sufficient policy for combating software piracy. Additional policies aimed at combating corruption should be implemented concomitantly for effective resolution of this problem.
