Development of the Scale of Spirituality for Workplaces
Spirituality is not a new area of research. The unavailability of standardized assessment measures of spirituality is the basis of the present investigation. Phase 1 of the present study developed themes through ‘self-report measurement' administered to 15 participants (G1) of different spiritual organizations and studying the glimpses of Indian spirituality. Results revealed 90 themes, which were used as variables for the development of the scale. Phase 2 involved the development of measures of spirituality for an adult sample. The author selected N=300 (G2) MCQ for Part-1 and Likert format for Part-2 of the scale. Beginning with an over-inclusive 100 items (40+60) WSIS in the study, a series of exploratory analyses led to a reduced set of 51 items (17+34). With another 1200 participants (G3), a priori criterion PCA yielded a 14-factor structure: 6 factors WSIS (Part 1) and 8 factors WSIS (Part 2). The author proposed the Workplace Spiritual Intelligence Scale (WSIS), which was standardized and showed satisfactory validity and reliability.
