  • 1.  Ten most cited articles on spirituality and management

    Hi All

    I was fiddling around in Web of Science (a citation index) and asked it to identify the ten most cited articles on spirituality and management. It was kind of fun to see the results. They are below.

  • 3.  Ten most cited articles on spirituality and management

    Posted 03-16-2007 09:42

    Dan,

     

    Interesting.  I was thinking there'd be more citations overall-would be interesting to compare to ramp-up of other themes in management field.

     

    For example, learning/knowledge publications were relatively few per annum during early 80's with gradual increase till 1990; then the volume curve seemed to inflect dramatically (popularity of Senge's book was strong indication of market readiness-though key ideas went back to Argyris & Schon 10 years earlier).  Flurry of books in 90's and beyond; growing number of conferences, consulting tools, and dedicated journals.

     

    It would be neat to complement this citation data with number of books published and related sales for MSR-type books over same time period (as pulse in predominantly practitioner world).

     

    What's in store for MSR field?  Slow start-up and then "hockey-stick" inflection at some point?  Dispersal into sub-topics or new framing?

     

    What factors influence these idea-development trajectories (must be research about that)?  How well are we influencing the configuration of factors to promote MSR?  (Of course, given my bias for communities of practice, I'd think a major factor would be strength of the community of researchers/practitioners building knowledge/practice in the area.  This field seems to have a passionate, growing group taking stewardship....)

     

    - Bill

  • 4.  Ten most cited articles on spirituality and management

    You make an interesting point. Web of Science has a fairly limited number of journals that it uses. It leaves out a lot. So I went to GoogleScholar and looked for articles in the field of business that had the word "spirituality" in the title. This too leaves out a lot, for example, any article that simply uses the word "spiritual" in the title and not "spirituality;" or any articles about spirituality in the workplace that don't use the word "spirituality" in the title. Anyway, taking that into consideration, I got fairly different results. For example, in Web of Science, my 1994 article wasn't even on the list. Here it showed up as the fourth most cited article. Part of the results are below.
