Abstract

Conceptual and empirical linkage between spiritual leadership and team climate or followers' attitudes, behaviours, and performance outcomes have not been fully developed. The focus of this article is to provide some initial foundation for the broader empirical evidences of how spirituality of leaders influence followers to co-create a spiritual climate. We argue that leaders' spirituality at work affects spiritual climate and a leader's reputation as a spiritual leader mediates this relationship. We draw from contemporary literature of spirituality in management and notion of swadharma and loksangrah (in Karm yoga in Bhagwad Gita) for development of instrument of spiritual climate at work. Interestingly, the findings did not reveal a direct effect of the spirituality of leaders' at work on spiritual climate, however leaders' reputation as spiritual showed strong association with to spiritual climate. The self-perception of leaders' spirituality at work does not relate to leaders reputation being spiritually connected to work.
