Summary: In the past 20 years, there has been significant development in spirituality theory and research on generational differences in the workplace, particularly in the context of HR policy in the UK. The study compares and scrutinizes generational perspectives and religious theory, finding differences between religious groups and generations while suggesting limited support for workplace spirituality, leading to more questions than answers. This relatively new research area highlights the need for further exploration into employee spiritual well-being and a necessary change in organizations' approach to spirituality.

Summary: People who primarily identify as spiritual play a significant role in the religious landscape of North America and Europe. This study aims to explore the predictors, correlates, and outcomes associated with this self-identification. Using data from German and United States adults, two studies were conducted to examine the differences between four categories of religious/spiritual self-identification. The findings provide evidence of distinctions between these self-identifications, including a strong association between identifying as more spiritual than religious and mysticism.

Summary: This review examines the relationship between religiosity/spirituality/religious-spiritual coping and end-of-life (EOL) care preferences and receipt in cancer patients. The results show that religiosity/spirituality is associated with more aggressive EOL care and lower rates of advance care planning. Spiritual care from the medical team is associated with more referrals to hospice and less aggressive care, while high spiritual support from religious communities is associated with less hospice and more aggressive care.

Summary: This study investigates the opposing influences of religion on environmentalism through individual differences in Religious Fundamentalism and Spirituality. The findings show that Spirituality has a positive effect on environmental attitudes, while Religious Fundamentalism has a negative effect. The positive effects of Spirituality on environmental attitudes are partly mediated by trait compassion and moral foundations, while the negative effects of Fundamentalism are partly explained by Right-Wing Authoritarianism. Overall, the combined effects of Spirituality and Fundamentalism are better predictors of environmental concerns, even when controlling for political attitudes.

Summary: Studies show that people have more confidence in the existence of unobservable scientific phenomena compared to unobservable religious phenomena across cultures. This research investigated the cultural mechanism for the transmission of confidence in invisible entities by studying the conversations between parents and children in Iran and China, which have different religious profiles. The results revealed that parents expressed less uncertainty when discussing scientific phenomena compared to religious phenomena, regardless of religious or secular beliefs. These findings contribute to understanding the role of culture and testimony in the development of beliefs about unobservable phenomena.
