Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to define a new and broader concept of spirituality called holistic spiritual capital (HSpC), which encompasses and identifies the dimensions proposed by various authors and to propose a metric scale for HSpC and its validation.
Design/methodology/approach
The analysis is based on a survey of 201 residents of Spain administered in May, 2015. Exploratory factor analysis and a subsequent confirmatory analysis were conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques with EQS software.
Findings
Four dimensions reflect the latent construct of HSpC in different ways: health, creativity, morality and religiosity.
Practical implications
The measurement of HSpC should be considered relevant to organizations, but not merely because it may be a tool to increase productivity. Ethical climate influenced organizational commitment and hence it enhances performance indicators.
Originality/value
The proposed scale encompasses in a unique instrument some dimensions considered previously in the literature independently.
