Thesis (D.B.A.)--Argosy University/Sarasota, 2002.

The potential for spirituality theory in the management disciplines has generated a large volume of primarily theoretical literature. At the threshold of this newly formed discipline stand the sentinels of field research methodologies. It is within the gap between the excitement of a new field in management theory generating an abundance of theoretical discourse, and a sparse availability of empirical studies characterized by scientific rigor that the present study is conducted.

520 $a The potential for spirituality theory in the management disciplines has generated a large volume of primarily theoretical literature.

520 $a This study posits that a reliable and valid spirituality scale founded on a relational-ideopraxis construct can be developed to meet the empirical research needs of management theory development in spirituality. The relational-ideopraxis construct is defined as a way to integrate a worldview (ideology) inclusive of spiritual subjects, into everyday activities (praxis) through an alternative human developmental process framed against relational attributes. The construct consists of thirteen independent variables also known as relational modes, or conforming arrangements of personal behaviors selected as a response to a contextual, relational demand. For each relational mode, three specific behaviors are operationalized into statements and are subject to item validation through panels of experts and then subject to reliability and validity tests. This instrument, called the Independent Spirituality Assessment Scale (iSAS), demonstrated normality (p = 0.09, n = 234), homogeneity (α = 0.88, n = 508), and stability (r = 0.92, n = 40), with an improved α = 0.91 after refinements. Construct validity was demonstrated through two control groups, concurrency with two spirituality instruments, namely Howden's <super> ©</super> (r = 0.53, n = 220), and Beazley's <super>©</super> (r = 0.31, n = 113) scales, and factor analysis. These statistical analyses from a population of 508 respondents obtained from seven major metropolitan areas in five states suggest that spirituality measured by a relational-ideopraxis construct is possible. Further validation of relational modes, their causalities, and their effects on organizations, within all three aspects of spirituality, appear to be warranted.
