Greetings,
With AOM coming closer into view, we would like to invite you and other
interested colleagues to attend our PDW titled, The Integration Box: A
Faith, Religion, and Spirituality at Work Assessment Tool.. This workshop
will delineate Millers (2007) original theoretical framework, The
Integration Box (TIB) as posited in his book, God at Work: The History and
Promise of the Faith at Work Movement. Millers research into the faith at
work movement makes the claim, among other things, that there are four
manifestations, or ways, that people integrate faith and work.
The TIB theory and its newly developed accompanying psychometric scale will
allow researchers to capture both the multivariate nature of workplace
spirituality and their individual expressions. Specifically, this PDW seeks
to summarize Millers original TIB theory, convey the developmental origins
of the TIB theory, delineate the most current rendition of The Integration
Box theory, and contextualize the theory by referencing Miller and Ewests
(2010) categories for Workplace Spirituality Scales, and introduce the TIB
psychometric scale.
The session will also reveal research findings from two commercial
organizations where the TIB scale was tested, as well as a discussion of
future research directions, inviting participants to use the TIB in their
own research. While theoretically content-rich, the PDW will also provide
multiple practical examples of the four manifestations, examples of possible
applications to the workplace and how the TIB theory addresses practical
managerial considerations proposed by SHRM relating to issues of diversity,
human development, and organizational culture (values, trust, empowerment)
employee motivation.
The session is scheduled for Friday, August 3, 2012 at 9:00AM - 11:00AM at
the Sheraton Boston Hotel in Independence East.
