Abstract	The "spirituality in the workplace" movement serves a range of interests, including personal fulfillment on the job, a growing need to reconcile personal values with those of the corporation, and corporate desires to help individuals achieve more balanced lives. In addition to being the theme at a growing number of conferences, spirituality has also been the subject of online computer discussions and numerous books. Among the factors that have converged to create the spirituality in the workplace trend are the following: corporate layoffs and downsizing, the aging of the work force, the decline of traditional support networks, and changes in organizational structures. One of the most important issues associated with the growing movement of spirituality in the workplace is whether the movement is compatible with the profit motive that is the goal of most businesses and what happens when the two conflict. The relationship between spirituality and religion is another important issue. Career educators and career development specialists can prepare people for a workplace that includes a spiritual dimension by using the integrated life planning model and the relational approach to careers. (Includes an annotated bibliography of 20 print, organizational, and electronic resources, which comprises more than half of the document.) (MN)
