| dc.description.abstract | This research was conducted for the purposes of examining the validity of causal model of Spiritual leadership Theory (SLT) in Vietnam organizational context and evaluates the effectiveness of spiritual survival (meaning/calling and membership) and empowerment produced by leader‘s spiritual leadership on organizational outcomes (organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior) in manufacturing and service sector in Ho Chi Minh City and how it contributes to impractical implication. The positive hypotheses between the SLT variables and empowerment to organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior were tested in a sample of 378 full-time employees working in manufacturing and service industry in Ho Chi Minh City. Consequently, the study resulted in confirmation of validity of SLT in the sampling area. The impact of membership on organizational commitment is as nearly twice as that of meaning/calling, while empowerment generated no effect on organizational commitment yet positively relates to organizational citizenship behavior. New findings about the positive relationships between organizational commitment and empowerment to organizational citizenship behavior also confirm the indirect relationship of spiritual leadership to organizational citizenship behavior via the effect of followers‘ spiritual survival (meaning, membership), empowerment, and organizational commitment. Moreover, there is a comparison between these relationships on employees of manufacturing and service sector in Ho Chi Minh City. Finally, some discussions about the results and implications for the future research and practice are also mentioned.
