Abstract
AbstractThe problem of organizational ethics was addressed by examining the relationship between organizational ethics, workplace spirituality, and conscious leadership as a catalyst for positive social change. Spiritual leadership theory and social learning theory provided the theoretical frameworks for this study. Both theories provided a theoretical understanding of how learned social behaviors and leadership have an impact on organizational culture. The purpose of this quantitative cross-sectional study was to understand the relationship between workplace spirituality, organizational ethics, and conscious leadership. It is important to understand the relationship between workplace spirituality, organizational ethics, and conscious leadership because the negative effects of low ethics have been costly for organizational trust, organizational trust, stakeholder trust and loyalty, and organizational performance. A convenience sample of 77 employed adults over the age of 18 years of age and who had been employed at the same company for a minimum of two years were asked to complete an electronic survey to measure the variables in this study. A multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the results and found a significant positive relationship between workplace spirituality and organizational ethics. The findings from this research study contributes to positive social change by providing empirical evidence that may increase the overall awareness of workplace spirituality and conscious leadership on organizational ethics.
