Abstract

This article aims to present the results of a qualitative study, type descriptive-interpretative, based on semi-structured interviews that conducted with various workers from different companies in the city of Medellín, through which was possible to characterize the meanings of spirituality experiences in the context of organizational and work. The results allowed us to conclude that spirituality allows, and fosters multiple well-being experiences for people; in addition, it helps them to understand emotions and manage states of stress and disturbance; and finally, it helps to find meaning in what they do, and experiencing connection with their community, and with their team’s job. As a result, spirituality at work is experienced as a force that provides motivation and energy, and allows people to self-actualize and feel that they transcend.
