ext=etd workplace spirituality was
associated with work intentions,
and whether ethical leadership
mediated the relationship between
workplace spirituality and work
intentions.
Key variables included
participant demographics, which
included personal and
professional attributes,
workplace spirituality, work
intentions and ethical leadership.
Workplace spirituality served as
the independent variable with
three levels: sense of
community, alignment with
organizational values, and
meaningful work. Work
intentions served as the
concern, and connectedness
and embodied in the ethical
leadership and decision-
making presented in the
paper, and at the heart of
every educational and
administrative encounter.
Results indicate ways
practicing school
administrators, faculty
preparing administrators, and
other business or
organizational leaders can
utilize ethical decision-
making and leadership for
organizational improvement.
The results of this study
provided evidence towards
the theoretical assumption
that workplace spirituality
and work intentions were
related. Additionally, the path

indirect effect of workplace
spirituality on work intentions
