Abstract

PurposeThis paper reviews 18 workplace spirituality scales developed over a period of 23 years from year 2000 to early 2023. The objective is to provide inputs which can guide future researchers in choosing an existing appropriate workplace spirituality scale and in adopting sound scale development procedures for the development of new workplace spirituality scales.Design/methodology/approachThis paper outlines the need for and importance of carrying out a review of workplace spirituality scales. Thereafter, it carries out a review of each of the 18 workplace spirituality scales. It describes 10 overall limitations of the collective set of workplace spirituality scales. Finally, five future research directions are outlined.FindingsThe review indicates that most of the workplace spirituality scales have limitations associated with them. The collective set of workplace spirituality scales also has several overall limitations.Research limitations/implicationsThe review suggests that workplace spirituality researchers need to exercise caution in choosing an appropriate existing workplace spirituality scale for their research. The review also provides directions for the future research for developing more adequate workplace spirituality scales.Practical implicationsThe inputs from this review will contribute to improve the practice of workplace spirituality research.Social implicationsAs workplace spirituality can make organizations more beneficial for employees and the society, this review's contribution to improving workplace spirituality research has an indirect social significance.Originality/valueThis is, to the author's knowledge, the first comprehensive review of 18 workplace spirituality scales developed over a period of 23 years from year 2000 to 2023.

职场灵性量表综述

本文回顾了从2000年到2023年初的23年间开发的18个工作场所灵性量表。本研究旨在为未来研究人员选择合适的工作场所灵性量表及采用合理的量表开发程序开发新的工作场所灵性量表提供参考。设计/方法/方法本文概述了对工作场所灵性量表进行审查的必要性和重要性。之后，它对18个工作场所灵性量表中的每一个都进行了审查。它描述了工作场所灵性量表的10个总体限制。最后，对未来的研究方向进行了展望。研究结果表明，大多数工作场所灵性量表都有其局限性。工作场所灵性量表的集合也有几个总体上的局限性。研究的局限性/意义本综述建议，工作场所灵性研究人员在为他们的研究选择合适的现有工作场所灵性量表时需要谨慎。本研究也为未来开发更完善的职场灵性量表提供了方向。实践意义本综述的结论将有助于改善工作场所灵性研究的实践。由于工作场所灵性可以使组织对员工和社会更有益，因此本综述对改善工作场所灵性研究的贡献具有间接的社会意义。原创性/价值据作者所知，这是第一次对2000年至2023年23年间开发的18个工作场所灵性量表进行全面审查。

期刊介绍： ■Adapting strategic planning to the need for change ■Leadership research ■Responsibility for change implementation and follow-through ■The psychology of change and its effect on the workforce ■TQM - will it work in your organization? Successful organizations respond intelligently to factors which precipitate change. Economic climates, political trends, changes in consumer demands, management policy or structure, employment levels and financial resources - all these elements are constantly at play to ensure that organizations clinging on to static structures will ultimately lose out. But change is a dynamic and alarming thing - this journal addresses how to manage it positively.
