Hi Debu,
I think it is a wonderful idea to reach out beyond AOM and MSR. This is such a fragile and emerging field, and I'm sure that the scholars and authors you know would truly welcome the chance to have a place to submit their research on spirituality in the workplace to an audience that is interested.
Warm Regards,

As great as learning is, it is important to realize that knowledge is meaningless unless we apply what we have learned. The seeds of knowledge will blow away in the wind unless they are planted in our everyday life. The seedlings must be tended regularly by watering and weeding if they are to bloom. Then the Fall winds will blow the seeds of the blooms to new areas in hopes of more widespread growth. We are merely keepers of the garden.

Subject: Re: 2011 Management, Spirituality and Religion Interest Group Call for Papers
I am thinking of forwarding your "2011 Management, Spirituality and Religion Call for Submissions" to some people known to me for purposes like: 1) some of them are in senior academic positions (including a Vice Chancellor of Uni) and interested in spiritual research and can inform others to make submissions; 2) authors; and 3) some with potentials for making submissions. Many of them are not with AOM/MSR at the moment. Forwarding your 'Call' can have (hopefully) multiple benefits for your submissions statistics/ quality, MSR. & AOM.
What do you think? Let me know soon.
Thank you very much and regards

2011 Management, Spirituality and Religion
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
(Program Chair: Michelle French, mfrench@msmc.la.edu)
The Management, Spirituality and Religion (MSR) Interest Group cordially invites you to submit scholarly papers for the Academy of Management Annual (AOM) Conference in San Antonio, Texas, August 12-14, 2011. The conference theme is "West Meets East: Enlightening. Balancing. Transcending."
Specific Domain: MSR is committed to advancing rigorous, interdisciplinary theoretical and applied research and pedagogy on the nature, influence, and relationship of spirituality and religion in management and organizational life. Major areas of investigation include theoretical and empirical evidence about the effectiveness of spiritual or religious principles and practices in management, from approaches represented in the literature, including religious ethics, spirituality and work, and spiritual leadership, as well as applications of particular religions, and secular spiritualities to work, management/leadership, organization, and the business system; and evaluation studies of the effectiveness of management approaches that nurture the human spirit in private, non-public or public institutions.
Research constructs span a wide variety of theistic and non-theistic dimensions, including but not limited to science and spirituality, integration of practical spirituality in life and work, ethical systems in management and organizations, synchronicity and personality, coherence theories, mindfulness, consciousness and transcendent awareness, compassion and love, wisdom traditions, moral and values-based leadership, multiple intelligences, stewardship theory and sustainability, socio-technical systems, and spirituality in human resource and talent management, among others. MSR provides a unique and exciting scholarly forum for those who enjoy pracademic research. We also welcome submissions for joint symposia with other Divisions.
Special Instructions: Potential submitters are encouraged to explore connections with the 2011 AOM conference theme, "West Meets East: Enlightening. Balancing. Transcending," examining issue such as:
- How do Eastern and Western spiritual and religious traditions contribute to enlightening, balancing, and transcending within organizations?
- How can spiritual management practices uniquely address the challenges and opportunities created by the global economic crisis?
- What is the role of the transcendent in organizational life?
- How do religious and spiritual traditions encourage or inhibit balancing the diversity that comes with the growth of emerging economies?
- In what ways can teaching spiritual management practices encourage the development of enlightened managers?
Papers may be submitted through the AOM website at: http://submissions.aomonline.org/2011. Only submissions registered, uploaded, and finalized on the website will be evaluated. The submission deadline is Tuesday, January 11, 2011 at 5:00 PM EST.
