Conclusion
We intended to formulate a type of spirituality against which man could measure himself. Spirituality refers to the “healing power” that awakens man from his indifference toward others and makes him responsive in all of her/his manifestations. Spirituality is connected to the attestation of self-identity. In light of the constellation of self within the context of spirituality, we proposed themes on spirituality concerning management in particular. We have noted especially the spiritual dimension of values, cognition, corporate goals, and the position of management related to the broader social and natural environment. The spiritual engagement of management is spontaneously established. The indispensable moments of management are strategic rationality, coordination processes, resolving social dilemmas inside the firm, and influencing the beliefs of members of the firm. Recognizing the detrimental effects of unfettered strategic rationality, our conclusion is that spiritual motivation is to be located in the contempt of the intrinsic motivation-field. The difficulties management confronts are manifest in the trade-off policy created between extrinsic and intrinsic motivations.

Notes
Brouwer (2002, 101.).
Langlois (1987).
Determined by the cognitive and non-cognitive aspects, trust appears to be signi. cant in economic actions, especially in prevailing over opportunism. It calls attention to the interpersonal infrastructure of business, and points to several bene. cial externalities amongst the business agents with the mutual expectations concerning the streaming of information’s, reliability, or transactions costs. The trust functions as cohesive ties that bind in the relationships, which are very often only semi-re. ected and embedded in the spontaneously functioning business environment. See for example, Argandona, A. (1999), Politt (2002).
