Scholarly interest in the expression of spiritual and religious traditions at work has been on the rise in recent years. Researchers have subjected work-related aspects of many belief systems to academic inquiry. However, the Hindu treatise on work is conspicuous by its absence from the workplace spirituality discourse despite its metaphysical, demographic, and economic significance. In this study, we operationalise Karma-Yoga, the core of the Hindu work ethic. We develop and validate an instrument of Karma-Yoga in accordance with Rastogi and Pati's (2015) conceptualisation, which follows a conceptual and methodological critique of extant operationalisations. We report results from three studies using distinct samples. Preliminary evidence on convergent validity, discriminant validity, nomological validity, and internal consistency of the proposed instrument is provided.
