Abstract
Irrespective of one's personal religious beliefs, no objective observer can deny that religion exerts a major influence on society and human resources management. The influence of religious beliefs and spirituality on the jobrelated attitudes, behaviors, and performance of employees is an often neglected and underresearched topic across the major organizational sectors (Garcia Zamor 2003; Giacalone and Jurkiewicz 2003; King 2007; Exline and Bright 2011; Byrne, Morton, and Dahling 2011 ). This article strives to develop a conceptual framework for the influence of religious commitment on servant-leader and human resource management work-related outcomes. It will include the main dependent and independent variables as well as the relevant moderator variables. A vital area for model testing is the development of clear conceptual and operational definitions for the complex religious commitment construct. The article will conclude with specific recommendations for future research as well as observations on overcoming obstacles in conducting research on religion in the workplace.
