The purpose of this study was to answer two questions. First, can
the Spiritual Assessment Scale measure spirituality among emerging
teacher candidates? Second, is there a statistical relationship between
participants’ perception of their own spirituality and leadership and
certain dispositions believed to be important to organizational effectiveness?
Alpha coefficients calculated for this population of participants
(emerging teachers) were similar to alpha coefficients calculated for the
original population (graduate students in business administration). The
Spiritual Assessment Scale does measure the dimensions of spirituality
among emerging teachers
