Journal of Management, Spirituality & Religion (JMSR)
Since the Journal of Management, Spirituality & Religion (JMSR) was established in 2004, it has become the first port of call for academics interested in the spiritual and religious aspects of managing and organizing. It serves three large communities:
(1) Students, scholars and practitioners of spirituality as it relates to management and organizations,
(2) Management academics and practicing managers,
(3) Scholars in religion studies and of religious affairs.
JMSR serves as a meeting forum and fosters cross-fertilization in these communities. It wishes to encompass, without prejudging any belief or none, a multitude of interests and concerns. Our sole criterion is academic rigour and scientific merit. It seeks to define the field through conceptual, theoretical and empirical understandings of MSR that include:
• Examining MSR through different traditions
• Exploring the relationship between MSR and society
• Critical and interdisciplinary work that may extend the boundaries of MSR
• Metaphysical explanations of MSR
We are the prime dedicated academic forum for disseminating work, for the development of theory, for reporting best practice, and for the exchange of ideas and debate in Management, Spirituality and Religion. We pledge to continue and be the recognized leaders in this field of study.
As evidenced in the success of the Management, Spirituality and Religion Special Interest Group of the Academy of Management, this field is gathering momentum. The mission of this journal is to provide a dedicated forum for disseminating work, for the development of theory and best practice, and for the exchange of ideas and debate in this growing field of interest.

JMSR SPECIAL ISSUE
The Spiritual Dimensions of Love in Leadership:
Critical Perspectives, Shadow Aspects, and Integral Approaches
Editors: Mohammed Raei, PhD & S. Aqeel Tirmizi, PhD
This special issue aims to:
- Explore the ontological distinctions between the presence and absence of love in leadership; how is leadership different when it is coming from a place of love, and how is it different when love is absent.
- Integrate multiple theoretical frameworks including developmental (Dempsey, 2023; Freinacht, 2017; Kegan, 1998), integral (Wilber, 2000, 2001, 2007), spiritual (Severan, 2021), and humanistic perspectives (Andrews, 2022).
- Develop integrative frameworks to advance our understanding of leadership and love (or leading with love).
- Examine the paradoxical nature of love-based leadership approaches.
- Examine and integrate various theoretical conceptualizations of love in leadership contexts. § Develop comprehensive theoretical frameworks that bridge secular and spiritual understandings of love in leadership.
- Advance theoretical understanding of how different definitions and forms of love manifest in leadership practice.
Academy of Management - Division of Management, Spirituality, and Religion
The Academy of Management's Division of Management, Spirituality, and Religion (MSR) is a community engaged in interdisciplinary theoretical and applied research and pedagogy related to the relevance and relationship of spirituality and religion in management. MSR explores how spirituality and religion can influence organizational dynamics and affect management outcomes. In that regard, MSR is devoted to defining the relevance and impact of spirituality and religion in management, organizations and society. Major areas of study include theory building and empirical research around the issues of faith, spirituality and religion as they influence principles and practices in management. Important contributions have been made in MSR research to better understand the meaning of work, the impact of spirituality and spiritual leadership in the workplace, the purpose of business, the effects of religious pluralism in the workplace, and the distinctive elements of individual religious and spiritual beliefs that cultivate inner awareness and promote wisdom for the common good.
