The purpose of the paper was to develop and validate a comprehensive tool for measuring workplace spirituality. On the basis of literature, feedback from academic and industry professionals, a heuristic framework along with a scale on workplace spirituality was proposed and a questionnaire was developed. The instrument obtained empirical views from experts on its dimensions and statements. Content validity ratio (CVR) of the instrument was carried out and the retained items were taken for field survey. Three hundred and sixty one executive respondents employed in manufacturing and service organisations in Indian subcontinent responded to the 44 items scale assessing different facets of spirituality at workplace. This helped to validate the factors of workplace spirituality and optimize the contents of the proposed instrument with the help of structural equation modelling. Exploratory factor analysis revealed four distinct factors that constitute the new instrument of workplace spirituality: spiritual orientation, compassion, meaningful work, and alignment of values. Reliability analysis reported high level of internal consistency of the total scale (α = .78) and the five subscales (α’s ranging from .75 to .87). Finally, 30 items were retained with four important factors of Workplace Spirituality Scale.

Instruments Measuring Spirituality in Clinical Research: A Systematic Review

et al. 2011

Instruments identified in this systematic review assess multiple dimensions of spirituality, and the proposed classifications should help clinical researchers interested in investigating the complex relationship between spirituality and health. Findings underscore the scarcity of instruments specifically designed to measure a patient's current spiritual state. Moreover, the relatively limited data available on psychometric properties of these instruments highlight the need for additional research to determine whether they are suitable in identifying the need for spiritual interventions.

“…Inspection of Cluster 2 and Cluster 3 further reveals that despite comparable health status and depressive symptoms, members in Cluster 2 reported lower level of faith but significantly higher level of QOL. It is certainly true that faith may have different significances for persons with different backgrounds and/or in different contexts; however, it is difficult to reconcile the consistently insignificant association of faith with QOL given the compelling theoretical rationales for the central role of faith in the spiritual well-being structure that ascribes meaning and value to individual life [5,29,30]. In addition, factors as indicators of the same construct are subject to intercorrelation to a considerable degree [31], whereas current analysis and our previous finding [17] suggest only low inter-factor correlations between faith and the other two dimensions of the FACIT-Sp-12.…”
