This paper addresses the concept of workplace spirituality as it relates to leadership effectiveness based on measurable variable elements. The theories of spiritual leadership and social exchange surface with a review of previous literature on the concepts. Altruistic love, a characteristic of spiritual leadership, is addressed as an independent variable, which produces a relationship that leads to organizational commitment, appearing as a dependent variable to ascertain if the spiritual leadership element will produce the outcome of continued commitment from employees. The employee’s sense of his/her work as a calling as a moderating effect on the effectiveness of the leader’s altruistic love was measured with the expected result of a lessened dependence upon the leader’s altruistic love to produce organizational commitment in the follower. Results indicate that altruistic love does have a positive relation to affective and normative commitment, but is not significant in relation to continuance commitment. No significant relation was demonstrated in the moderating effect of the employee’s sense of work as a calling on the altruistic love of the leader as it pertains to organizational commitment.
