Abstract

It is known that managers are like all individuals, formed by their family values, moral, ethical and even religious, including their beliefs. From this assumption, the objective of this study is to clarify how far the moral, religious and beliefs influence the actions of managers. For this purpose, first it held a theoretical review about the religions prevalent in Brazil, the decision- making process and about the ethics and spirituality in organizations. From this, we performed an exploratory research of basic nature and qualitative approach. The sample was selected by the convenience and accessibility of the researcher between managers of the public and the private sector in the city of Dourados, on Mato Grosso do Sul State. The results show the influence that religion can cause on the decision-making process of managers. Some benefits that could be caused by the use of religion or spirituality in the organizational environment and the risks and concerns identified by managers due to the influence of religion or spirituality in the organization.
