The demise and reawakening of spirituality in western entrepreneurship. (2007). Journal of Human Values, 13(1), 1-11.Spiritual aspects of entrepreneurial organizations are framed in this article via the lens of critical management theory as reflected in literature spanning four social epochs: federalist reality, the Industrial Revolution, disciplinary society, and the post-industrial milieu. The resulting themes highlight the interconnectedness as well as reciprocal influences between social reality and spiritual leadership in Western entrepreneurial enterprises. Drawn from the author's doctoral research on spirituality, entrepreneurship, and leadership, the article suggests a need for reintegrating spiritual leadership among post-modern organizations and entrepreneurial firms in the achievement of more sustainable futures.
