(1) Are proposed nebulous definitions of spirituality realistic? (2) Does spirituality contrast to religion as a purely private, internal matter or does it carry necessary external implications? (3) Is there a connection between spirituality and religion? (4) If spirituality, like religion, has a public dimension, what could that dimension entail? This inquiry utilizes classical treatments such as those of William James, Gordon Allport, and Abraham Maslow, as well as modern authors, to consider the potential benefits of both religion and spirituality in the workplace
