Abstract

This paper focuses on the impact of spiritual leadership and spirituality at work for performance improvement. Based on literature survey, a conceptual model has been configured. Data was gathered using questionnaire from samples selected from the employees of Arak's Machinery Company which are 1849 persons including 52 managers, 178 supervisors, and 1619 other employees. Four hundred questionnaires were initially distributed and 259 usable data were obtained. The structural equation model was used for data analysis. Results show that the organizational vision affects meaningful work. Altruism affects employees’ sense of community and meaningful work. Faith in work affects employees’ sense, meaningful work and employees’ inner life. Meaningful work of employees and employees’ sense of community affects the work performance. Other hypotheses are not in support.
