요약 : The American Dream, particularly its focus on riches, has captivated Americans since the 1960s; but recent world events, including the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and numerous scandals by financial organizations, have changed the way Americans view work. The faith at work movement began in the 1980s (Miller, 2007) and has been growing at a fast pace in recent years as employees seek more from their jobs than just a paycheck. Employees are searching for meaning in their work, and the fields of faith at work and spiritual leadership have been growing. However, most of the work done in these fields has been religion neutral. Lynn, Naughton, and VanderVeen (2009) posited that current research that has focused on spirituality without religious convictions is too simplistic, and personal religious beliefs must be examined in connection with spirituality and faith. Scholars have postulated that leadership based on the Bible would be divisive and produce negative results for the organization, but no studies have been performed to actually support those attacks (Hicks, 2002). The purpose of this study was to build a new theory of biblical leadership and a scale that may be used to study it. The Biblical Leadership at Work Scale was developed as a result of a thorough review of previous research on leadership and the Bible. This resulted in a theory of biblical leadership that is multidimensional as it integrates the leader's spiritual life, relational and professional abilities, and desire. A leader exhibiting biblical leadership must exhibit the following four components: (a) relationship with God, (b) relationship with man, (c) completing the mission, and (d) organizational relationship skills. A nine-member expert panel examined the instrument to establish face validity. All four of the factors of the scale were studied through a principal component factor analysis and an item analysis that utilized bivariate correlations. Reliability was measured by utilizing Cronbach's alpha (.920 for the entire scale) and a test--retest method of analyzing internal consistency. The research in this study indicated that three of the four factors of the study are valid and reliable to measure biblical leadership, but several of the items need to be examined further, which is explained in the final chapter. This study was a groundbreaking endeavor as it developed a new theory of biblical leadership. It is the opinion of this researcher that biblical leadership is an important theory not only because of the positive effects that it can have on an organization but because it can also help to advance the kingdom of God on earth. There is a need to build upon this study to strengthen the scale so that a strong, reliable, and valid instrument is fully developed to enable the research necessary to examine the effectiveness and outcomes of biblical leadership.
