Turkish Adaptation of the Spirit at Work Scale in Production Sector Employees.

The purpose of workplace spirituality is to enable individuals to realize the potential or their personal spirituality, develop a positive attitude and be able to create positive connections with their environment. The Spirit at Work Scale (SAWS) developed by Kinjerski and Skrypnek stands out as it conceptualizes and evaluates workplace spirituality. This study was organized methodologically in order to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish adaptation of the Spirit at Work Scale in production businesses in a Turkish metropolitan center. The population of the study was drawn from businesses with ten or more employees in an industrial zone. The study involved a convenience sample of 188 participants. Considering the results of exploratory factor analysis (EFA), it was seen that the items in the scale were grouped around three different factors. According to the results from confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), three-factor SAWS‑TR was confirmed as a model. Consequently, it was seen that spirituality at work combined three elements, namely Engaging Work, Mystical Experience and Spiritual and Social Connection, for workers in the production sector in this study.
