Spiritual Health in a Swedish contemporary organizational and leadership context (English)
Abstract [en]

Spiritual health has an impact on physical, mental and social health. Working life is one of the Swedish public health arenas. The aim of this essay was to conduct an inductive and exploratory study into how leaders, in large organizations, freely reason based on a extended concept of health and the concept of spiritual health in an organizational and leadership context. Spiritual health and health as a resource were expressed by several leaders to be synonymous with what the organization strives for and what good leadership is and aims for. But the concept expresses it in a new and valuable way. The leaders linked many of the results created through their organizational and leadership development to the eight aspects of spiritual health. They see matters of meaning as important and topical. There was a strong belief among the leaders that the degree of Employee Engagement is high in their organiza­tions, that they create spiritual health through their work and that it positively affects the business profitability and competitiveness. The analysis gives the overall assessment that life and working life influence each other. It shows great potential from a public health perspec­tive as well as a socio-economic and business perspective. The analysis also points in the direction of a possible future model for research as well as several initiatives and work areas. For the psychology of religion, as a research topic, an opportunity arises for new research models, connect to other research areas, and contribute to an expanded political analysis.
