How Workplace Support of Religion and Spirituality Buffered Burnout During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated existing resource gaps, particularly in the workplace, often leading to burnout. Research shows that religious and spiritual resources buffer workplace burnout, but little research examines the impact of workplace support for religion and spirituality (R/S) on workplace burnout. Using a nationally representative survey of U.S. workers during the COVID-19 pandemic (N = 1,492), we analyze the association of workpla…
Take It to the Lord: Religion and Responses to Racial Discrimination in the Workplace
Drawing on in-depth interview data from the nationally representative Faith at Work: An Empirical Study, this article contributes to understanding the role of religion in shaping interpretations of and responses to racial discrimination in the workplace. Specifically, it shows how Christians of different racial groups understand the relevance of their faith in coping with perceived racial discrimination in the workplace, and it illuminates the re…
Called to Work: Developing a Framework for Understanding Spiritual Orientations Towards Work
This study examines how individuals understand spiritual calling to work. We draw on theoretic insights from Max Weber and Karl Marx to analyze 186 in-depth interviews with religious individuals in the United States. We argue that these classical frameworks can help us to better understand contemporary religious interpretations of calling in relationship to work. We propose a framework for categorizing ways of viewing work as a calling that consi…
The Limits of Congregational Support for Working Women
Recent scholarship has illuminated the ways that women clergy are disadvantaged in their work, even in congregations that actively support women ministers. How might this disadvantage extend to women congregants who work for pay in other fields? Drawing on 136 interviews from a national study on work and faith, we analyze the accounts of clergy within different types of Christian churches as well as those of women congregants. Surprisingly, we fi…
The Role of Region and Religious Tradition in Predicting Individuals' Expressions of Faith in the Workplace
While many variables might influence an individual's willingness to express their faith in the workplace, the role of regional context has not been fully considered. The different geographical regions in the U.S. consist of unique demographics and cultures that could shape an individual's expression of faith at work. Moreover, these regional effects might be moderated by an individual's specific religious tradition. Using data from a survey of U.…
The Connection between Perceived Workplace Discrimination and Viewing Work as a Spiritual Calling
Research shows that perceived workplace discrimination shapes an individual's job satisfaction and intent to leave a job. This study considers whether these impacts may be attenuated if an individual views their work as a spiritual calling. Using data from a nationally representative survey (N = 9,907), our analysis shows that perceived work discrimination due to race, gender, and religion are all independently associated with less job satisfacti…
The Relationship between Workplace Status and Workplace Religious Expression
A growing body of literature explores religious expression in workplaces, but comparatively little research examines how religious expression might be shaped by inequality in workplace status. We hypothesize that perceived work autonomy and socioeconomic status (SES) both function as mediating links between organizational status and religious expression. Drawing on a sample of employed adults from a nationally-representative survey in the United …
How Religious Discrimination is Perceived in the Workplace: Expanding the View
Although religious discrimination in U.S. workplaces appears to be rising, little is known about how different groups of employees perceive discrimination. Here, the authors draw on 194 in-depth interviews with Muslim, Jewish, Christian, and nonreligious employees to examine perceptions of religious discrimination in the workplace. The authors identify several common modes of perceived discrimination, including verbal microaggressions and stereot…
From Secular to Sacred: Bringing Work to Church
Work and faith are significant life commitments for many people. Understanding how people integrate these facets of life is important for scholars, faith leaders, and religious communities. We use data from Faith at Work: An Empirical Study, which includes a U.S. general population survey (n = 13,270) and in-depth interviews. Drawing data from a Christian sub-sample we ask: How do Christians draw on their faith community in relation to work? For …
A Nationally Representative Survey of Faith and Work: Demographic Subgroup Differences around Calling and Conflict
Research has increasingly highlighted the importance of business leaders allowing people to bring their whole selves to work. And religion is an important part of the whole self for many. However, we lack the large-scale national data needed to explore how Americans see the connections between religion and work. Here, from "Faith at Work: An Empirical Study"-a novel, nationally representative dataset-we explore the extent to which working America…

Rediscovering Models of Sabbath Keeping: Implications for Psychological Well-Being
There is a growing interest in Sabbath keeping in America as a counterbalance to our culture's consumerism, exhaustion, and loss of segmentation between work and other life arenas. We describe three models of Sabbath keeping, their implications for well-being, their inherent challenges and a program of research to investigate the proposed relationships. The models are (a) Life Segmentation, in which people actively segment their lives to create r…
"Learner-Centered" According to Children
Insights gleaned from interviews with children in elementary classrooms are presented in the form of "lessons" related to learner-centered principles and self-determination theory. Children's responses indicate that they note and endorse learner-centered practices, particularly those focused on their desires for teacher care and support, tasks that promote new learning and increased competence, and opportunities to participate in various activiti…

Assessing Life Stressors and Social Resources among Adolescents: Applications to Depressed Youth
A growing body of evidence points to the importance of life stressors and social resources in adolescent functioning. This article describes the Life Stressors and Social Resources Inventory-Youth Form (LISRES-Y), which provides an integrated assessment of life stressors and social resources in eight domains: physical health, home/money, parent, sibling, extended family, school, friend, and boy/girlfriend. The indices were developed on data obtai…
Nonshared environmental influences and personality differences in adult twins
The twin design was used to examine the importance of different experiences of siblings within the family and to identify relations between twins' personality differences and their differential experiences. A sample of 161 monozygotic and 74 dizygotic twin individuals between the ages of 18 and 75 years retrospectively reported on their different experiences when growing up. The Sibling Inventory of Differential Experience (SIDE) was used for the…
Why are children in the same family so different from one another?
One of the most important findings that has emerged from human behavioral genetics involves the environment rather than heredity, providing the best available evidence for the importance of environmental influences on personality, psychopathology, and cognition. The research also converges on the remarkable conclusion that these environmental influences make two children in the same family as different from one another as are pairs of children se…
Differential experiences of siblings in the same family as predictors of adolescent sibling personality differences
In the area of personality development, environmental influences operate to make siblings in the same family different rather than similar to each other. The goal of the present study was to determine whether differential experience of siblings can be used to explain the marked personality differences of siblings. The Sibling Inventory of Differential Experience (SIDE) along with personality information (the EAS Temperament Inventory and question…
