Abstract Conventional approaches of management researchers are based on economic rationality and human emotions, which are deficient in the spiritual aspects of humanity. Spirituality is an element of practical wisdom. Rationalist ethics and knowledge do not alone ensure virtues. The concept of spirituality places an ultimate or an apparent immaterial truth. It enables a person to discover the essence of their being. Spiritual practices, including prayer, meditation, and contemplation, are anticipated to enhance an individual’s inner space. They facilitate non-judgmental awareness, the ability to recover quickly from negative stimuli like stress or calmness, empathy, and increased flexibility in response.
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is an arrangement between a corporation, academic institution, or government agency and its employees that provides a variety of support programs for employees mainly dealing with work-related difficulties. The concept of the EAP originated in the 1970s to reduce substance abuse and intoxication in the workplace. Since then, EAPs have evolved to deal with various issues such as depression, marital problems, anger, anxiety, physical illness, etc. EAPs can provide daycare for employees' children and elder care for employees' parents. The relevance of spiritual wisdom in management is a widely accepted fact. This paper examines how Employee Assistance Programs can be made more effective by imbuing spiritual practices
