Abstract
- Although there is considerable agreement that mainstream organization and management theory (OMT) has been undergirded by religious faith and beliefs, we nevertheless lack a well-developed understanding of how contemporary scholars' faiths may serve to inform OMT. In this paper we differentiate between faith and belief, describe the idea of organization and management theoria (OMTia), and then develop a process model that describes how faith informs OMTia, which in turn informs OMT. The paper presents two illustrative first-person accounts of the process model in practice, one from a Buddhist perspective and the other from a Christian perspective. We conclude with implications for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
