RELIGIOUS
ENVIRONMEN
T
Religious
Identity
a sense of affiliation with a religious
group and incorporates the beliefs,
values, and practices of that group.

19
“
Identity is core to diversity in
the workplace. Workplace
diversity entails more than
surface‐level diversity, but also
the deep‐level diversity
associated indeed with religion.

20
How do religious and occupational
identities interact?
Key Influences:
 Individual's personal
preferences
 Opportunities the work role
provides to express one’s identity
 Characteristics of the worker's
specific religious belief system
21
Personal Preferences
These preferences are influenced by
prior experiences, norms for religious
expression, and the strength of
religious identification.
Individuals actually may choose an
occupation because it aligns with their
religious identity.

22
Opportunity to Enact Religious
Identity
Opportunities and barriers arise from
organizational features such as culture,
policy, and practices and from positional
features such as the individual's role
expectations, job status, and local
leadership influences.

23
 A religion's system of belief,
norms, and values
They are attached to specific norms,
values, and behaviors that influence how
an individual enacts a religious identity at
work.
The specific religion that individuals
espouse can affect their ability and
motivation to enact it at work.
24
FOSTERING COMPATIBILITY
BETWEEN RELIGIOUS AND
OCCUPATIONAL IDENTITY
✓ Adopting a balanced approach informed by
law
✓ Respectful pluralism to integrate religious
identity at work
✓ Addressing conflicts between personal and
organizational values
25
Adopting a Balanced Approach Informed
by Law
Employers have a duty to
accommodate religious beliefs.

Anti-Discrimination Laws protect

beliefs and practices associated
with organized religions.

26
Respectful Pluralism
It means resisting favoring one
religion while accepting the right to
expression in the workplace.

Advocates that religious expression

co-occurs with respect for the dignity
of all organizational members.
27
Addressing Conflicts
The key idea is to get the issues of
value conflict and congruence into the
collective organizational
conversation. 

Conflicts provide the basis for

discussion, feedback, and redesign of
work processes.
