| Abstract: | Workplace Spirituality (WS) is recognized as the inner state of individuals and an aspect of their working life. This study was conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Workplace Spirituality Scale (WPS) developed by Petchsawang and Duchon (2009) in Pakistani context school teachers. The present study was quantitative research and used a cross-sectional survey design. The sample for the study consisted of four hundred public school teachers. The data was collected personally by researchers and necessary guidelines were shared with the respondents. EFA and CFA were applied to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Workplace Spirituality Scale (WPS) in the Pakistani context. The results of the statistical analysis confirmed the four factors model (transcendence, mindfulness, compassion, and meaningful work) and ensured the generalizability of WPS. Furthermore, the results of statistical analysis established adequate reliability and validity of WPS. The modifications in this scale are highlighted. The findings of the study indicated that the instrument is valid and reliable which measures workplace spirituality. Further studies may be conducted in a different context to further ensure the dimensionality, reliability, and validity of WPS through different methodologies and techniques. |
