Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Integrity Moments is a 60 second workday devotional that provides business leaders with helpful insight into what the Bible says about our work and how we can fully integrate our faith into our vocational calling.

Many others have taught on the importance of engaged employees. Extremes, however, can be dangerous.

New research by Professor Bunderson at Washington University discovered that when someone feels called to a profession, they tend to have a greater sense of moral duty. This moral duty can go to extremes; leading to being overly demanding of their superiors and suspicious of their boss’s intentions.

This can result in less respect for deadlines and reluctance to work in a team.

Romans 13:1 teaches, “Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.”

God may have called you to a position, but He still expects you to respect the authority He has placed over you.
