Abstract

This purpose of the research is to investigate the impact of ethical leadership (EL) on workplace spirituality (WPS). The study utilized a survey methodology to gather data from a sample of private sector employees. The data collection approach employed was convenience sampling. Using SPSS software, correlation and regression techniques were used to examine the data. The study findings reveal that EL is positively related to WPS, as ethical leaders create a culture of trust, integrity, and fairness that promotes a sense of purpose and meaning among employee’s Ethical leaders not only provide an example for their workers to follow, but also serve as a role model for those employees, which can encourage them to behave in a manner that is more ethical and responsible. In general, the study contributes to the body of research on ethical leadership and the role that it plays in WPS. By offering an empirical analysis of the links between these ideas in the context of private sector companies, the research adds to the body of current literature. The implications of the findings for managers and practitioners are discussed
