Abstract

One of the biggest challenges facing organisational leaders in today's fiercely competitive corporate world is eliciting employee commitment (EC). Although few studies have established a relationship between spiritual leadership (SL) and EC, research on mediation, such as psychological capital (PC), in this relationship is inadequate. The purpose of the paper is to explore the mediating influence of PC on the link between SL and EC. A longitudinal research design was adopted and data were collected from 576 healthcare workers in private healthcare units in Chennai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. The postulated model was validated using AMOS 23.0, and the mediation of PC was tested using Haye's Process Macro-4.3. These findings show that SL has a significant and positive direct influence on EC. The key finding of this study is the partial mediation of PC in the relationship between SL and EC.
