Abstract
We describe the results of a first empirical study conducted on the relationships existing between the fact that executives experienced St. Ignatius of Loyola‘s Spiritual Exercises and their managerial practices. Based on in-depth interviews of 20 senior managers and top executives who have practiced the Ignatian Spirituality for many years, we describe six general categories where these relationships appear to be the most important: Decision-making, Human Resource management, the organizational mission, social responsibility, career development, and the meaning of work. These results demonstrate that their leadership attitudes are influenced by discreet spiritual values. These values influence the organizations.
