The relevance of Spiritual Leadership to public health: Values, meaning and purpose
Public health currently faces many enormous challenges that highlight the urgent need for more effective leadership models. This paper explores Spiritual Leadership in the Workplace as a potential approach to informing and animating the field of Public Health Leadership. Developed and applied over the past two decades, Spiritual Leadership is defined as the “values, attitudes, and behaviors necessary both to motivate and inspire workers and to en…
Leading Without a Self: Implications of Buddhist Practices for Pseudo-spiritual Leadership
This paper extends Being-centered and spiritual leadership theory using non-self from the Buddhist philosophy to further our understanding of how inner life functions as the source of spiritual leadership. While spiritual leadership theory has received widespread acceptance and considerable empirical support, its developmental process and potential for being used to pursue self-centered ends remain underdeveloped. Drawing on non-self from the Bud…
A Framework for Leader, Spiritual, and Moral Development
Spiritual Leadership as a Model for Islamic Leadership
Western-based models dominate leadership research and practice, although a consensus is emerging that new theories and models are needed to foster cross-cultural understanding and rapprochement. This holds not only for global organizations that employ workers from different cultures but also for public and private organizations whose cultures and employees are grounded in and embrace religious beliefs and practices as central to their work. This …
Spirituality and religion in the workplace: History, theory, and research
The role of spirituality and religion in the workplace (SRW) is a relatively new area of inquiry that has emerged from scholarly fields not typically associated with the study of the psychology of religion and spirituality. This article explores the underlying assumptions and history as well as the state of current theory and empirical research regarding SRW. We first describe the history of the efforts to integrate spirituality and religion into…
Towards a theory of being-centered leadership: Multiple levels of being as context for effective leadership
This article proposes and develops a theory of leadership that utilizes five levels of being as context for effective leadership: 1) the physical world; 2) the world of images and imagination; 3) the level of the soul; 4) the level of the Spirit; and 5) the non-dual level. We first explore how each of the five levels of being provides a means for advancing both the theory and the practice of leadership. Second, we utilize these five levels to cre…
The role and expectancy participation model: An empirical assessement and extension
Four hypotheses were investigated. The results substantially support and extend the usefulness of Schuler's role and expectancy participation model (1980). Schuler's model posits that participation intervenes to attenuate the relationships between job objectives and role conflicts and ambiguity. Also, participation, role conflict and role ambiguity are assumed to intervene to attenuate the relationships between job objectives and job satisfaction…
Effects of Different Leader Behaviors under Different Levels of Task Interdependence
Three hypotheses were developed and tested relating the moderating effects of interdependence between leader behaviors and satisfaction and performance. Results from a survey of 419 participants on 22 teams in eight sports revealed strong support for the performance hypotheses, but not for the satisfaction hypotheses. Winning coaches of high interdependence sports teams were described as exhibiting significantly greater leader-initiating structur…
The Paramilitary Police Model: An Organizational Misfit
This paper uses the control system perspective developed by Ouchi (1977, 1979) and other organization theory concepts to theoretically analyze the paramilitary model used by police organizations. The paramilitary model is viewed as a form of bureaucratic organization that is inappropriate or a
