Abstract

In his book The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, Weber (1904) identified the Calvinist type of the Protestant ethic as a significant influence in shaping capitalism in Northern Europe. We may observe different transformation processes in geographical areas influenced by other religious traditions, such as Islam, Judaism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. Nevertheless, religion also played a decisive role in forming a modern economic system. In some Western societies, religion is overwhelmingly practised in the private sphere, and religion no longer seems to have any explicit meaning in their enterprises. Nevertheless, religion continues to play a major role in other societies, and even in very secular societies, values, norms, and business convictions are not completely detached from religious beliefs. This is indicated in the modern business world by various developments: the involvement of continental European banks in Islamic banking, the dispute over the publication of religious cartoons in magazines, the debate over the wearing of religious symbols such as the headscarf in the business world, and the integration of religious groups in companies in the context of diversity management discourses.

特刊“世俗商业世界中的宗教、灵性和信仰”导言
韦伯在他的著作《新教伦理与资本主义精神》(1904)中指出,加尔文主义类型的新教伦理对北欧资本主义的形成产生了重大影响。在受其他宗教传统(如伊斯兰教、犹太教、儒教和佛教)影响的地理区域,我们可以观察到不同的转变过程。然而,宗教在现代经济体系的形成中也起到了决定性的作用。在一些西方社会,宗教主要是在私人领域进行的,宗教在他们的企业中似乎不再有任何明确的意义。然而,宗教继续在其他社会中发挥重要作用,即使在非常世俗的社会中,价值观、规范和商业信念也没有完全脱离宗教信仰。这在现代商业世界的各种发展中得到了体现:欧洲大陆银行参与伊斯兰银行业务,在杂志上发表宗教漫画的争议,在商业世界中佩戴宗教标志(如头巾)的争论,以及在多元化管理话语的背景下,宗教团体在公司中的整合。
