Impact of spiritual leadership on unit performance
The Leadership Quarterly

Issues regarding workplace spirituality have received increased attention in the organizational sciences. The implications of workplace spirituality for leadership theory research and practice make this a fast growing area of new research and inquiry by scholars. The purpose of this research was to test a dynamic relationship between spiritual leadership and spiritual wellbeing (i.e. a sense of calling and membership) and key organizational outcomes in a sample of emerging military leaders. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) results revealed a positive and significant relationship between spiritual leadership and several unit-level outcomes including organizational commitment and four measures of performance. These relationships were explained or mediated by spiritual well-being. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
