Modeling The Relationship Between Spiritual Leadership And Organizational Commitment

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of spiritual leadership exhibited by principals on organizational commitment of teachers. This effect was examined through structural equation modeling. The research consisted of two stages as the development and the application of the spiritual leadership scale. The scale that was developed included 13 items in one factor and it was applied along with the Meyer-Allen organizational commitment scale in the second stage. When the relationship between spiritual leadership and organizational commitment was tested thorough structural equation modeling, the model had good fit indexes. It is determined that spiritual leadership affected organizational commitment mainly through affective and normative commitment. Teachers’ perceptions of spiritual leadership varied across branch, seniority and number of teachers in the school variables, but they did not varied across education level and gender variables
