The Influence Of Spiritual Leadership On Intention To Leave Of The Employees

Abstract

This cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted to investigate the influence of spiritual leadership on intention to leave and the mediating role of spiritual well-being and job satisfaction of 160 employees of the shipping agency companies in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. A numeration of the entire population (census) was adopted to collect data. Hypotheses testing were conducted using a PLS-SEM approach. Findings revealed significant negative influence of spiritual leadership on intention to leave, and job satisfaction was found partially mediated the relationship between spiritual leadership and intention to leave, but there was no mediation of spiritual well-being on intention to leave. The results of this study have made a significant contribution to fill a gap in the body of knowledge in the spiritual leadership studies.
