Description
Résumé:Paganism encompasses many faiths that have folk or ethnic origins and further represents an understudied minority despite being one of the fastest growing religions in the United States, Canada, and UK. The current research examines the experiences of Pagans at work in two studies. Study 1 reports on a series of narrative interviews into the lived experiences of Pagans in the workplace. Study 2 employs quantitative methods to examine hypotheses generated by Study 1. Findings suggest that workplace ridicule and discrimination against Pagans is commonplace, including higher levels of covert and overt victimization and lower job satisfaction among Pagans when compared to other mainline faiths in the workplace. Limitations, directions for future research, and implications for management are discussed.
