1. INTRODUCTION
Spirituality passion in global business world continues to
strengthen. Creativity and innovation can only be done
if there is ability to monitor with full concentration, and
to do job best through the spirituality practice [1]. The
relevance of spirituality has attracted some attention in
various fields of business. Past research has revealed that
spirituality in workplace program create higher sense of
joy, serenity, job satisfaction and commitment [32] and
OCB [2] [25].
Today, spiritual at work is considered as a medium to
build a more competitive work environment [3]. The
relevance of spiritual at work has attracted some attention
in various fields of business. Spirituality is also considered
as an important foundation for effective business
leadership [18]. The development of workplace spirituality
cannot alone without the leadership support. Therefore,
discourse of spiritual leadership becomes important to
be integrated with application of workplace spirituality
[33].
Some researchers revealed effect of leadership on
OCB. Han et al. [13] found signifficant correlations
between leadership and OCB. Sani et al. [34] suggests
that spirituality becomes the strongest variables to affect
organizational effectiveness. An inquiry is noteworthy
provided analysis is extended to evaluate employees’
perception on how spiritual at work helps explaining
employees’ behaviors at work. Nonetheless, they have
not sufficiently hypothesized and empirically tested this
[27]. Therefore, it is necessary to undertake research that
assists scholars in comprehending the seemingly positive
effects on workers’ attitudes which possibly take place

Achmad Sani, Ismail Suardi Wekke, Vivin Maharani Ekowati, Bakhtiar Abbas, Idris Idris and Fuad Ibrahim
when managers reinforce individuals’ requirements in the
workplace on a spiritual level [27].
Spiritual leadership according to Sutopo and Hidayah
[36] is a leadership that greatly maintains ethical values
and divine values. Spirituality-based leadership is not only
about intelligence and skill in leading, but also continues
to hold the spiritual values as truth, honesty, integrity,
credibility, wisdom and compassion which in turn can
shape character and moral of self and others [33].
The main focus of leaders should do good deeds to
get God blessing. Therefore, they emphasize the
importance of self-leadership; referred as process to affect
one to improve personal effectiveness and leadership to
affect others [35]. From an Islamic perspective, leadership
is regarded as an explicit contract between leaders and
followers. Likewise, leadership pattern of Islamic banking
in Indonesia should include five good moral attitudes,
because Indonesia is a Muslim majority country.
Muslims believe that this world is a temporary place
and all the good deeds are worship. Wors hip is
characterized by a willingness to help others sincerely
(OCB). Islam requires all Muslims to perform that
behavior in order to get the blessing of God, to create
prosperity of individuals and society [17]. This study aims
to address this research gap by integrating the West OCB
concept with Islamic heritage (Al-Qur’an and traditions
of Prophet), and proposed an OCB model from the Islam
perspective (OCBIP) which serve to represent, describe
and consistent with viewpoint of Muslims [20].
The other problem in this organization is the lack of
understanding of the dimensions of employee’s job and
behaving meta-functional behavior which is essential for
the survival of the organization. So it is necessary to
understand the views of the staff in this field which results
in organizational citizenship behavior, some studies be
conducted. Indeed, Social Welfare Organization, to try
to remain competitive and to attra ct customers
satisfaction are able to support the organization to get
the goal by showing organizational citizenship behavior.
To respond this important issue, in this study we tried to
identify the relationship between the spiritual leadership
and organizational citizenship behavior, and mediating
role of workplace spirituality, according to the results
obtained provide ways to achieve the organization’s goals
to improve the quality of customer service.
Ba s ed on above phe nomenon, the proble m
formulations are as follows. (1) Is Spiritual Leadership
affect on Organizational Citizenship Behavior from
Islamic Perspective (OCBIP) of employees? (2) Does the
Workplace Spirituality moderate the effect of Spiritual
Leadership on Organizational Citizenship Behavior from
Islamic Perspective (OCBIP) of employees?
2. THEORY AND RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS
Spiritual Leadership
Fry et al. [10] developed a Spiritual Leadership theory
based on a model of intrinsic motivation to include vision,
hope and faith, altruistic love, spirituality theory in
workplace and spiritual survival or spiritual well-being.
The survival consists of spiritual meaning/calling and
membership. Effective leaders implement maintain
practices and appreciate the spiritual needs. Not valued
and nurtured spiritual dimension will create unhealthy
consequences to indivi duals, organi z ations, and
communities. Good leaders integrate spirituality with five
practice of leadership as challenge the process, inspire a
shared vision, enable others to act, model the way and
encourage the heart.
Workplace Spirituality
Spirituality is an inherent human characteristic that
intri nsically does not conclude reli gious meaning.
Spirituality is an existing element essence of each
individual and spirituality cannot be separated from the
individual [19]. Spirituality in workplace will be created
in absence of pressure from people, spirituality is not to
be spoken, but spirituality in workplace will be created
when people behaviors can practice spirituality into every
action and deed [32].
Workplace Spirituality puts employees as spiritual
beings who need the souls care in workplace, which has a
sense of purpose and meaning in their work, and a sense
of connectedness one another [3][27]. This horizontal
spiritual is directed by service orientation and deep care
to others. Consideration to others is shown by concern

Moderation effect of Workplace Spirituality on the Organizational Citizenship Behavior
and high quality of interpersonal labor relations at work,
low turnover, group cohesion, and group efficiency [22].
Organizational Citizenship Behavior from Islamic
Perspective (OCBIP)
OCB is a choice behavior and individual initiative, not
related to formal reward system of organization, but in
aggregate increase organizational effectiveness. This
means that behavior is not inclu ded in ter ms of
employment or employees job descriptions so that if it
is not done also any punishment [6]. This behavior is
expressed in for m of willingness to consciously
and voluntarily to work and contribute to organization
[30].
OCBIP is a self-awareness of a Muslim to work in
an organization. Work not only to run the job according
to job description, but to ease the burden of organization
by doing useful activities and prevent the organization
from damages. This behavior is characterized by
helping others voluntarily. Islam has emphasized such
behavior with a view to prosperity of individuals and
society [14].
Islam viewpoint explains that behaviors related to
public interest (mashlahah) are very supported, because
Islam encourages its followers to always be careful when
taking action. The action must be based on common
interests, rather than based on personal interests [20].
Furthermore, he said that any action should be based on
two aspects, namely al-dunya (world) and al-akhirat
(hereafter).
Relationship between Variables
Spiritual Leadership on OCBIP
Spirituality is also considered as an important foundation
for effective business leadership [33]. Some researchers
revealed eff ect of spi ritua l le adership on OCB.
Mohammad et al. [28] reveals a relationship between the
Spiritual Leadership and OCB. Relationships among these
variables would be empirically identified through the
following hypotheses:
H1: Spiritual Leadership affect on Organizational
Citizenship Behavior from Islamic Perspective
(OCBIP) of employees.
Workplace spirituality moderated the effect of
spiritual leadership on OCBIP
Spirituality is an inherent human characteristic that
intri nsically does not conclude reli gious meaning.
Spirituality is an existing element essence of each
individual and spirituality cannot be separated from the
individual [19]. Some empirical studies show a positive
relationship between Spiritual at work on OCB. Gupta et
al. [12] found signifficant effect meaning in work to OCB.
Nasrudin et al. [29] who found signifficant correlations
between spirituality and OCB. The development of
workplace spirituality cannot alone without the leadership
support. Therefore, discourse of spiritual leadership
becomes important to be integrated with application of
workplace spirituality [33]. Based on theory and previous
researches, this hypothesis was formed:
H2. Workplace spirituality moderated the effect of
Spiritual Leadership on OCBIP of employees.
3. RESEARCH METHOD
Research conducted at BRI Sharia in Sidoarjo is an
explanatory research because the aim is to explain the
relationship between variables by testing the hypothesis.
The population in this study are all employees at BRI
sharia Sidoarjo. The population is all 141 employees of
BRI Sharia Sidoarjo. Sampling using Slovin formula and
obtained a sample of 105 respondents, with minimum
working period of 3 years at BRI Sharia Sidoarjo. The
variables and indicators used in the study include: Spiritual
leadership (X) is measured by five indicators outlined into
17 items adopted from Fry et al. [11]; Yusof and Tahir
[37]. The 17 items are measured by five point Likert scale,
from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Workplace
spirituality (Z) is measured by 3 indicators outlined into
International Journal of Applied Business and Economic Research 458
Achmad Sani, Ismail Suardi Wekke, Vivin Maharani Ekowati, Bakhtiar Abbas, Idris Idris and Fuad Ibrahim
6 items adopted from Ashmos and Duchon[3]. The 6
items are measured by five point Likert scale, from 1
(strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). OCBIP (Y) is
measured by 5 indicators outlined into 10 items adopted
[14]. The 10 items are measured by five point Likert scale,
from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).
Data is analyzed by moderation regression analysis
to determine the effect of spiri tu al leadership on
Org anizational Citizenship Behavior from Islamic
Perspective (OCBIP) with Workplace Spirituality as a
moderation variable.
Moderation regression model is a conditional model,
where one or more independent variables affect the
dependent variable, with provision that the effect will be
stronger or weaker when other variables included as a
moderation variable. This moderation effect ca n
strengthening or amplifying the effect, and can also
become a variable that neutralizes or weaken, so it is called
moderation effect [8].
4. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The majority of respondents age are 30-40 years (70
people or 66.7%), 12 people or 11.4% of respondents
are above 40 years and remaining 23 people or 21.9% are
above 30 years. The majority of respondents in this study
(75 people or 71.4%) are male, the remaining 30 people
or 28.6% are women. Respondents education shows that
most respondents are bachelor. Respondents based on
years of service explained that majority of respondents
have working period for 5-10 years (52 people or 49.5%),
and 40 people or 38.1% less than 5 years, and 13
respondents or 12.4% above 10 years.

membership. Organizational Citizenship Behavior from
Islamic Perspective (OCBIP) is translated into indicator
questions of suppor ting criteri a, organizati onal
participation, corporate belongings, altruism, and
interpersonal.
MRA test results showed that Spiritual Leadership
(X) has a significant effect on Organizational Citizenship
Behavior from Islamic Perspective (OCBIP) (Y). Positive
value of b (2494) indicates the effect is unidirectional. It
means that better the Spiritual Leadership will lead to
higher the Organizational Citizenship Behavior from
Islamic Perspective (OCBIP). This empirical result
consistent with Farvoodi et al. [7], that leadership style is
closely related to OCB. It also supports the research of
Mohammad et al. [28] that leadership affects on OCB.
Relationships of leadership on OCB gets better when
put Taqwa into the variables to test the hypothesis.
Likewise, Kaya [23] found that Spiritual Leadership affect
on altruism, conscientiou sness, Sportsmanship and
courtesy.
Best motivation work ethic will useless without
example from leader. Work world always have leaders and
subordinates. Naturally, a leader is not only expected to
motivate subordinates, but also can provide role models,
because it presents the example of a soul or spirit of any
leadership effort. Leadership is an effort to communicate
the value and potential of people clearly, they could see it
in themselves [15].
Spiritual Leadership can transform the aspirations,
identity, needs, preferences and values of followers to
realize their fullest potential. Leader of this model can
build team spirit with enthusiasm, high moral standards,
integrity and optimism as well as to provide meaning and
challenge for work performed to their followers to
increase the level of self-efficacy, self-confidence, meaning
and ability to self-determination of subordinates [4].
Spiritual Leadership create positive effects on employees,
especially a sense of comfort, psychological impact,
increas ing orga niza tional commitment , increased
productivity, and even the performance of organization
[9].
Leadership itself will be happened if other people
can see directly a person as a pioneer, aligning, and
empowering that guided by conscience. A hadith has said
that “not including one of us, those who do not dearest
little, and those who do not respect the elderly (History
at-Tirmidhi from Anas Bin Malik). The Hadith put loving
litt le before respecting the elderl y. If the hadith
contextualize the world of work, then a leader should
not hope to be respected by subordinates if himself could
not protect, give a sense of peace, and love them. A
subordinate will respect sincerely if the leaders always
spread love and concern for his subordinates. Good
example will create obedience and loyalty will be born
sincerely, and this became the key success of an
organization.
Workplace Spirituality moderates the relationship
between Spiritual Leadership and Organizational
Citizenship Behavior from Islamic Perspective (OCBIP).
MRA test results MRA shows the coefficient of
determination (R2) is 0829. It shows that addition the
moderator variable of Workplace Spirituality has increased
the variation of Organizational Citizenship Behavior from
Islamic Perspective (OCBIP) at 14.9% from 0.680 into
0.829.
The ef f e ct of Workplace Spi rituality on
Org anizational Citizenship Behavior from Islamic
Perspective (OCBIP) is not significant with sig 0.660 >
0.05; while moderation interaction of Spiritual Leadership
on Workplace Spirituality has sig 0.010. It can be put
classified as moderation pure.
This of study result consistent with Pawar[31] to
determine the effect of individuals spiritual, and three
aspects of spirituality in workplace (meaning in work,
community work and meaning in work), and positive goals
of organization in conjunction with three labor attitudes
(job satisfaction, job involvement and organizational
commitment. The result shows a positive relationship
between the three aspects of spirituality on three aspects
of work attitude.
Spirituality is often associated with positive results
and benefits in associated with a sense of community.
For exa mpl e it become a sense of unifying and
community building [5], serving others needs in workplace
and a source of daily expression from compassion,
wisdom, and connectedness [26].
International Journal of Applied Business and Economic Research 460
Achmad Sani, Ismail Suardi Wekke, Vivin Maharani Ekowati, Bakhtiar Abbas, Idris Idris and Fuad Ibrahim
Workplace Spirituality is indicated by ser vice
orientation and deep concern for others. Consideration
to others is shown by concern and labor interpersonal
relations towards work, group cohesion, and group
efficiency [22].
No matter how good leadership model, no matter
how good the organization’s culture, without the active
involvement of organization members, undoubtedly
spirituality in workplace will not be realized. Workplace
Spirituality provides an overview to employees who see
themselves as spiritual beings who need the care the
souls in workplace, sense of purpose and meaning in
their work, and a sense of connectedness of one another
[3][27].
Good comprehension of OCB basic concepts
firmly rooted in Muslims minds, Musli ms will be
more li kely to show OCBs towar ds the better.
Muslims have always thought that every action not only
affects the life in the world but also to life future in
hereafter.
5. SUMMARY

... Many studies were evident the positive effects of workplace spirituality on different employee behaviors including citizenship behaviors, sustainable behavior, etc. (Karakas, 2010;Sani, et al., 2018;Foster, & Foster, 2019;Beehner, 2019;Rezapouraghdam, H., Alipour, H., & Arasli, 2019;Aftab, et al. 2022;Siddiqui, Salleh & Shamim, 2023). The concept of spirituality is based on moral values and principles. ...
... These employees play a crucial role in a time when organizations are dealing with energy consumption issues in an unpredictable environment (Batool, Shabbir, Abrar, & Bilal, 2022). Employees' sense of ethics, values, and community demonstrated a successful and seamless operation that helped the firm move toward sustainable consumption behaviors (Ashmos & Duchon, 2000;Sani, et al. 2018;Wahab, 2017;Meng, Lee, Chua, & Han, 2022). ...
... To avoid this issue of behavioral dissonance and inconsistent behaviors, the alignment of individual values is necessary. When it comes to environmental concerns, workplace spirituality has the power to support and sustain sustainable consumption behaviors, which may be sustained over time across the conditions (Batool, Shabbir, Abrar, & Bilal, 2022;Sani, et al. 2018). ...
... Organisations must concentrate on extending their leadership talent pool rather than limiting their leadership development initiatives to a small number of people who have the potential to become senior corporate officers. An effective leader strongly impacts the job satisfaction (Ogbonna and Harris, 2000;Podsakoff et al., 2000;Ed u Valsania et al., 2012;Muhdar and Rahma, 2015;Sani et al., 2018) and can create organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) (Rodrigues and Ferreira, 2015;Sarwar et al., 2015;Ismaeelzadeh et al., 2016;Saif et al., 2016;Cofie, 2018;Hassi, 2018) among employees, which ultimately results in improved organisational performance and long-term growth. When a person leads, they motivate people to achieve a goal while also directing the organisation in a manner that makes it more ordered and logically significant. ...
... Research showed that effective leadership boosts employees' productivity and job satisfaction by improving their motivation (Goleman, 2002;Locke and Latham, 1990;Petty et al., 1984;Kouzes and Posner, 2002). Some studies predicted a strong link between effective leadership and work satisfaction (Podsakoff et al., 1990(Podsakoff et al., , 1996Walumbwa, 2002;Chen, 2005aChen, , 2005bMadlock, 2008;Parkinson, 2008;Temple, 2009;Ed u Valsania et al., 2012;Tonkin, 2013;Muhdar and Rahma, 2015;Sani et al., 2018). Thus, the present study proposes the following hypothesis: ...
... More and more studies have focused on the effectiveness of leadership and how it affects a variety of outcomes during the last decade. Effective leadership has a big impact on how employees behave in terms of organisational citizenship responsibility (Rodrigues and Ferreira, 2015;Sarwar et al., 2015;Ismaeelzadeh et al., 2016;Saif et al., 2016;Cofie, 2018;Hassi, 2018) and demonstrate job satisfaction (Ogbonna and Harris, 2000;Podsakoff et al., 2000;Ed u Valsania et al., 2012;Muhdar and Rahma, 2015;Sani et al., 2018). Employees often go above and beyond their job descriptions when they work under effective leadership (OCB, 2018). ...

Spiritual leadership carried out by leaders who have good personal qualities will create harmonious relationships between superiors and subordinates, reward subordinates who achieve objectively, are able to solve problems faced in the organization, and will have an impact on work. Therefore, spiritual leadership and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) have an important role in achieving the goals of an organization. The aim of this research is to find out how spiritual leadership influences job satisfaction through organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) as a mediating variable in Madiun Regency Population and Civil Registration Service employees in 2023. This research method uses a quantitative approach and collects primary data using a questionnaire. The population and sample in this study amounted to 100 samples. The variables used are spiritual leadership (X), job satisfaction (Y), and organizational citizenship behavior (Z). The analysis tool used is SmartPLS 4.0. The research results show that spiritual leadership (X) has a positive and significant effect on organizational citizenship behavior (Z). Organizational citizenship behavior (Z) has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction (Y). Spiritual leadership (X) has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction (Y). Spiritual leadership (X) has a positive and significant influence on job satisfaction (Y) through organizational citizenship behavior (Z) at the Population and Civil Registration Service of Madiun Regency in 2023.
... Hence, studies reveal that workplace spirituality helps in enhancing the organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) among employees. Similar findings were noted by some past studies (Al-Mahdy et al., 2021;Belwalkar et al., 2018;Charoensukmongkol et al., 2015;Garg, 2018;Jannah and Santoso, 2017;Makiah et al., 2018;Sani et al., 2018). But there were some studies explain insignificant relation between workplace spirituality and OCB (Kazemipour and Mohd Amin, 2012;Nasurdin et al., 2013;Utami et al., 2021). ...
... But studies connecting the variables have been found explaining significant relationships.

Purpose Without competent and talented employees, no organisation can grow and sustain for a long time. It becomes essential for every organisation to retain and satisfy the employees to achieve their predetermined organisational goals. The present study examines the mediating effect of workplace spirituality dimensions (i.e. meaningful work, compassion, transcendence, mindfulness and sense of community) in the link between job satisfaction and organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) among managerial employees of selected manufacturing firms of Chhattisgarh state. Design/methodology/approach Correlational research design was incorporated. Employees working at managerial positions at different private manufacturing firms of Chhattisgarh state were chosen as a sample for the present study. Regression analysis and confirmatory factor analysis tools were used to analyse the primary data collected from 400 respondents. Findings The results revealed that all the dimensions of workplace spirituality, i.e. meaningful work, compassion, transcendence, mindfulness and sense of community, were found statistically significant and partially mediated between job satisfaction and OCB among managerial employees of Chhattisgarh. The authors discussed the results thoroughly and provided avenues for the future research. Research limitations/implications The findings of the present research study will assist all private organisations in rethinking their employee retention and satisfaction strategies, since the presence of workplace spirituality in the organisation has a significant and beneficial impact on its environment. The current research will assist organisations in creating circumstances for OCB for employee via the introduction of workplace spirituality. Originality/value Creating spirituality in the current situation, where Covid-19 has suddenly affected all organisations around the world, would be extremely beneficial in terms of employee retention and satisfaction, which would eventually aid in the development of an environment conducive to citizenship behaviour at the workplace. However, the role of workplace spirituality as a mediator in the link between job satisfaction and OCB is innovative and has received little attention in the research community.

Effective leaders employ a blend of transformational and transactional leadership styles to collaborate with their employees, working towards achieving organizational objectives. While the significance of enthusiasm in leadership is acknowledged, its specific role remains largely unexplored within the realm of leadership studies. We contend that enthusiasm assumes a pivotal and influential role in successful leadership, ultimately enhancing overall productivity. This study is dedicated to investigating how leader enthusiasm impacts perceived performance among team members and examine the mediation of group satisfaction and positive emotions in the relationship between leader enthusiasm and perceived performance. By analyzing data collected from a participant pool of 311 individuals, our research yields compelling evidence that leader enthusiasm exerts a positive influence on perceived performance. A noteworthy revelation emerging from our research is found in the mediation analysis. This analysis sheds light on the pivotal roles of group satisfaction and positive emotions as key mediators in the link between leader enthusiasm and perceived performance. This underscores the concept that leader enthusiasm indirectly shapes how employees perceive their own performance, primarily through its profound impact on group satisfaction and the positive emotions experienced by individual team members. In summary, our study underscores the vital and transformative role of leader enthusiasm in cultivating a rewarding and fulfilling work environment. This, in turn, exerts a positive influence on follower emotions and their perceptions of performance. Our findings shed light on the intricate mechanisms through which leader enthusiasm contributes to shaping employees’ perceptions of their performance.

There have been many studies on spiritual leadership (SL) and its effects on organizational outcomes, ranging from commitment to organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). Precisely, researches regarding SL and OCB were conducted in different regions, cultures, and industries. These topics attracted a growing interest in the second half of the last decade. To clarify the SL–OCB relationship with regard to varied regions and industries, a meta-analysis was needed. Thus, the purpose of this study was to systematically analyze the quantitative studies exploring SL and OCB and to determine whether region, school, or other variables have any moderating effects on the link between SL and OCB. Upon a thorough analysis of the papers on the relationship between both SL and OCB in the literature, 43 studies met the search terms, but only 17 of them were included in this study. The results revealed a mean effect size of [Formula: see text] = .465, which displayed a statistically significant and positive relationship at the medium level between SL and OCB. The research also explored the effects of both Middle Eastern and Far Eastern samples, along with the factors of schools and other industries, on the link between SL and OCB. Neither different regions nor type of institutions had a significant effect on the link between SL and OCB.

The phenomenon of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) emanating from the Western value system has received enormous attention from researchers, however, the model of organizational citizenship behavior from other cross cultural or religious perspectives such as the Islamic perspective, has not been much explored. This empirical study attempts to enrich the understanding of OCB from Islamic management perspective. In view of this, Western OCB framework was studied and further enriched in light of the Islamic heritage (Qur'an and Sunnah, i.e. that Prophetic tradition of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) and established the need for Taqwa serving as antecedent of citizenship behaviors from the Islamic perspective. The survey data used for this empirical research was drawn from 405 Muslim employees in business organizations in Malaysia. Principal component analysis Jurnal Komunikasi Malaysian Journal of Communication Jilid 31(1) 2015: 59-80 60 (i.e. PCA using SPSS version 18.0) and confirmatory factor analysis (i.e. CFA using AMOS version 18.0) of the constructs; Islamic spirituality (IS), Islamic social responsibility (ISR) and Organizational citizenship behaviour from Islamic perspective (OCBIP), were conducted. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), good fit indices led to two major findings, thus, ISR influences employees' OCBIP performance; IS does not. Several implications from the study were discussed.
