“…However, the measurement of religiosity is debatable, and several studies use modified versions to fit the specific contexts (Mathur, 2012). Although there some differences across studies on what factors constitute the religiosity index, the three most common aspects include religious affiliation (e.g.…”

The CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH (ZEF) was established in 1995 as an international, interdisciplinary research institute at the University of Bonn. Research and teaching at ZEF address political, economic and ecological development problems. ZEF closely cooperates with national and international partners in research and development organizations. For information, see: www.zef.de. ZEF -Discussion Papers on Development Policy are intended to stimulate discussion among researchers, practitioners and policy makers on current and emerging development issues. Each paper has been exposed to an internal discussion within the Center for Development Research (ZEF) and an external review. The papers mostly reflect work in progress. The Editorial Committee of the ZEF -DISCUSSION PAPERS ON DEVELOPMENT POLICY includes Joachim von Braun (Chair), Christian Borgemeister, and Eva Youkhana. Alisher Mirzabaev is the Managing Editor of the series.

“…Some exceptions do exist though. Mathur [ 117 ] observed (partial) measurement invariance when comparing Indian and U.S. samples. This analysis was based on a six-item scale that claimed to reflect all three aforementioned religiosity components and nonetheless treated religiosity as a unidimensional construct [ 118 ].…”

“…As the answering format of the SBS supplies nine graded steps, we are not concerned about the approximation by normal theory (cf. [ 70 – 72 , 117 ]). CFA with ML estimation is relatively robust already when used with merely five ordinal response categories [ 120 ].…”

Despite claims about the universality of religious belief, whether religiosity scales have the same meaning when administered inter-subjectively–or translated and applied cross-culturally–is currently unknown. Using the recent “Supernatural Belief Scale” (SBS), we present a primer on how to verify the strong assumptions of measurement invariance required in research on religion. A comparison of two independent samples, Croatians and New Zealanders, showed that, despite a sophisticated psychometric model, measurement invariance could be demonstrated for the SBS except for two noninvariant intercepts. We present a new approach for inspecting measurement invariance across self- and peer-reports as two dependent samples. Although supernatural beliefs may be hard to observe in others, the measurement model was fully invariant for Croatians and their nominated peers. The results not only establish, for the first time, a valid measure of religious supernatural belief across two groups of different language and culture, but also demonstrate a general invariance test for distinguishable dyad members nested within the same targets. More effort needs to be made to design and validate cross-culturally applicable measures of religiosity.

“…Spiritual intelligence variable using the instrument adopted by the Tirri and Nokelainen (2008) one of the items the question is "I think is important about the meaning and purpose of life amid the bustle of everyday life" and "I often contemplate meaning and purpose to my life". The last variable is religiosity as moderation using the instrument adopted by the Mathur (2012) one of the items the question is "I am very religious" and "religion I profess very important for me".…”

“…Indicators of spiritual intelligence variable according to Kirsi Tirri et al (2006) there are four indicators with the item question number 4 statements: the ability of the circumstances, the ability to cope with everyday experience and the use of imagination, the ability to suppress as a measure of appreciation and ability feels securee, love and responsibility to others. Then the last variable is an indicator of religiosity by Mathur (2012) there are six indicators with the item question number 6 statement that attendance at places of worship, the importance of religious beliefs, the importance of religious values, believe in god, recognize religiosity, and their sense that their country could become a better place…”

The results of this study intellectual intelligence that has a positive effect on employee performance. Likewise, with spiritual intelligence has a positive effect on employee performance. In the moderation test, religiosity is not Able to moderate the relationship of intellectual intelligence on employee performance religiosity meaning that weakens the relationship, hypothesis 3 is rejected.
