Identity, Calling, and Workplace Spirituality

Identity, Calling, and Workplace Spirituality integrates theological scholarship on the construct of work and calling with organizational psychology research on workplace spirituality and career fit. Thomas V. Frederick and Scott E. Dunbar integrate these two domains to advance theological scholarship on vocation, work, and human nature. This focus provides crucial insights in terms of understanding how a Christian’s work fulfills a God-given calling and reflects the Christian doctrine of the image of God.
