Abstract

Spiritual Leadership is a causal leadership model for organizational transformation (OT) designed to create an intrinsically motivated, learning organization. Spiritual leadership theory was developed within an intrinsic motivation model that incorporates vision, hope/faith, and altruistic love, theories of workplace spirituality, and spiritual survival through calling and membership. The purpose of spiritual leadership is to create vision and value congruence across the strategic, empowered team, and individual levels and, ultimately, to foster higher levels of organizational commitment and productivity. The purpose of this paper is to test and validate the general casual model for spiritual leadership through an experimental design that initially examined 229 employees from three elementary and one middle school. A one-year longitudinal field experiment was then conducted with two of the original schools by means of an OT visioning/ stakeholder analysis intervention performed in one school with another as a control. Results revealed strong support for the model and the intervention, especially in terms of a significant increase in organizational commitment. An action agenda for future research and teacher and school employee training and development leading to increased teacher retention, organizational commitment and productivity is then offered.
