灵性资本：多维度结构、测量与创造性问题解决影响验证

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 灵性资本是基于个体更高层次的动机和成就需要驱动下的新“资本”模式之一，其特色在于通过心灵审视和笃信探索以促进自己不断成长和实现价值的全新典范。针对员工灵性资本，目前研究多停留在概念讨论阶段，欠缺具有一定信效度的工具来测量这个概念，而在将心灵元素上升为管理行为科学以进一步指导管理实践的过程中，重新勘察和量化测量显得至关重要。本研究旨在构建灵性资本的测量体系，基于扎根理论方法开发出以“反省审视”“多元开放”“挑战探索”和“换位移情”为中心范畴的灵性资本多维构思模型，以探索性因子分析初步验证这4个维度的内容效度，开发出包括16个题项的灵性资本量表；通过CFA并采用组合信度和AVE方法检验其具有良好聚合效度和区分效度，最终确立二阶四因素的灵性资本最优测量模型；采用PROCESS插件验证灵性资本对创造性问题解决的影响机制效应。研究结果显示：认知投入和情感投入在灵性资本与创造性问题解决关系间起中介作用，问题解决要求调节了灵性资本对创造性问题解决影响的间接效应。本研究为灵性资本的效能机制提供新证据和新发现，对帮助员工有效提升创造性问题解决提供富有意义的管理启示。

Abstract: Spiritual capital, as a new model of capital driven by individuals’ higher-level motivation and achievement motive, is characterized by a new paradigm of spiritual examination and devotional exploration for continuous growth and fulfillment. Most of the existing researches on employee spiritual capital merely discuss this concept, rather than use a reliable and valid tool to measure it. In the process of upgrading spiritual elements into management behavioral science to further guide management practice, re-investigation and quantitative measurement become crucial. This study builds a measurement system of spiritual capital, develops a multi-dimensional conceptual model of spiritual capital based on the grounded theory with introspection, multiple openness, challenge exploration and transposition and empathy as the central categories to initially verify the content validity of these four dimensions through exploratory factor analysis, and develops a spiritual capital scale including 16 items. PROCESS is used to verify the mechanism of how spiritual capital influences creative problem solving. The results show that cognitive investment and emotional investment mediate the relationship between spiritual capital and creative problem solving, problem-solving demands modulates the indirect effect of spiritual capital on creative problem solving. This study provides new evidence and new findings on the mechanism of how spiritual capital works, and provides meaningful management implications for helping employees effectively improve creative problem solving.
