The fact that the effect of human resources on productivity, which is important with the competition process, has come to the fore has made the concept of leadership more important. For this reason, the labour factor, which is handled in many aspects in the field of management, has become a frequent subject in academic studies by being handled in terms of spiritual and moral values. However, in the leadership approaches applied until today, it is seen that the spiritual aspect of the employees is generally left incomplete.
Objective: The main purpose of this study, which is addressed in order to measure the reflection of this deficiency, is to reveal the effect of spiritual leadership on the level of loyalty and cynicism of the employee.
Method: The study was conducted by sampling 170 employees of private schools operating in Kars city centre. In the study where convenience sampling method was used, the data were obtained by using the questionnaire technique. The data obtained were analysed using SPSS statistical software, the hypotheses created to achieve the purpose were tested with correlation and structural equation modeling and the results were interpreted accordingly.
Findings: In the findings obtained as a result of the analyses, while there is a negative effect between spiritual leadership and organisational cynicism, there is a positive effect between spiritual leadership and organisational loyalty.
