Espiritualidade cristã reformada protestante: implicações éticas no ambiente de trabalho secretarial

Abstract

In the last thirty years, there has been a growing interest in the study of Spirituality and Religion and how they are essential for human beings. Spirituality improves people's lives and has aroused the interest of companies in this area. In this context, the various professional areas are included, including the Executive Secretariat. This work has the general objective of understanding the implications of Christian spirituality for ethical behavior in the secretarial work environment. To this end, a qualitative and descriptive research was developed, based on a bibliographic survey, followed by a field research. The interview technique was applied to five professionals in the Executive Secretariat area. For data interpretation, the content analysis technique was used. It was concluded that Christian spirituality is present in the daily life of the executive secretary and that it serves as a guiding basis for his conduct and values. The possibility of expressing their religion and spirituality in the workplace as a way of pleasing God from the Reformed Protestant Christian ethics, which gave the act of working a religious and spiritual character, promotes positive results for the organization according to the participants' conception. It is understood that by specifically following Christian ethics, expressed in the life of Jesus and in the teachings of the scriptures, executive secretaries can be better professionals, with ethical behaviors and, consequently, contribute to the achievement of positive results for the organization.
