Rising global religiosity makes secular management models inadequate for diverse workplaces

Evidence

In societies in which religions are important, Hofstede’s disregard of a religious ontology creates a lacuna, which results in a detachment of intercultural organizations from their associates. In coming decades, the number of colleagues with a religious identity (Christian, Islamic, Judaic, African Traditional Religions, etc.) will only increase (PEW Research Center, 2015a, 2015b). Marginalizing religions in management sciences contrasts the worldwide de-secularization (Berger, 1999). — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 843
