Published by Research Institute of Hawzah and University "Hawzah wa Dāneshgāh Research Institute" from 2012

Since the Journal of Studies in Religion, Spirituality & Management (JSRSM) was established in 2012, 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 pertaining to management and organizations,

(2) Management academics and practicing managers,
(3) Scholars in religion studies and of religious affairs.

JSRSM serves as a meeting forum and fosters cross-fertilisation in these communities. We encompass, without prejudicing any belief or none, a multitude of interests and concerns. JMSR wishes to define the field through conceptual, theoretical and empirical understandings of JSRSM that include: interdisciplinary and multi-methodological approaches—all spiritual and religious traditions—examining the relationship between JSRSM and society – critical, theological and philosophical reflections on JSRSM—metaphysical explanations of JSRSM. 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 RSM that include:

• Examining RSM through different traditions
• Exploring the relationship between RSM and society
• Critical and interdisciplinary work that may extend the boundaries of RSM
• Metaphysical explanations of RSM

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 in Iran. We pledge to continue and be the recognized leaders in this field of study.
