Objectives: Integration of religion and spirituality in the workplace help people to be more satisfied with their job. The aim of the present study was to explore the role of religious beliefs, faith at work, and spirituality in the prediction of job satisfaction among rehabilitation experts. Methods:With the help of simple random sampling, 163 subjects (74 speech and language pathologists, and 89 occupational therapists) were selected from rehabilitation experts employed across educational clinics affiliated to the Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The Islamic religiosity scale, faith at work scale, spirituality and spiritual care rating scale, and Dunnett's job satisfaction questionnaire were used to collect the data. Multiple regression and Pearson correlation were applied for data analysis. Results:The findings showed that religious beliefs and faith at work can significantly influence job satisfaction among rehabilitation experts (P<0.05). However, spirituality did not have the same effect (P>0.05).Discussion: These findings showed that religious beliefs are superior to spirituality as far as predictions about job satisfaction were concerned among Iranian rehabilitation experts.

“…It might be tempting to suggest that as long as you ''believe'' it does not matter if you practice. Much has been written about the boundaries among faith, religion, and spirituality (for a review of spirituality versus religion in the research of faith in the workplace, see Lynn et al, 2009). The current research used multiple methods to measure faith-related variables and found similar results among these constructs; nevertheless, researchers should continue to discover similarities and differences among these concepts.…”

“…These approaches have included the definition and measurement of spirituality (Ashar and Lane-Maher 2004;Ashmos and Duchon 2000;Lynn et al 2008;Reave 2005;Seidlitz et al 2002), spirituality and organizational change (Dehler and Welsh 1994;Milliman et al 1999;Mitroff and Denton 1999;WagnerMarsh and Conley 1999), spiritual leadership as a distinct leadership style (Fry, 2003;Fry et al 2005), the influence of spiritual belief on the leader's role (McCormick 1994;Nash and McLennan 2001;Parameshwar 2005;Worden 2005), and cautions against the misuse of spirituality (Elmes and Smith 2001;Goodier and Eisenberg 2006;Nadesan 1999;Tourish and Pennington 2002).…”

This work extends the consideration of spirituality and leadership to the field of strategic leadership. Future development in the field of spirituality and leadership will depend on greater clarity concerning the level of analysis, and will require a distinction between personal and collective spirituality. Toward that end, a framework is proposed that describes how the personal spiritual beliefs of a top level leader operate in strategic decision making like a schema to filter and frame information. This function is mediated by the leader's constructive development and meta-belief and moderated by the organizational context and leadership style. This framework provides a starting point for considering the many expressions of spirituality in organizations and serves as a foundation for a multilevel theory of spirituality and leadership.
