“…Based on COR theory, our findings signify that spiritual leadership, through vision, altruistic love and hope/ faith, enhances employees' several personal resources, such as their sense of autonomy, spiritual wellbeing, intrinsic motivation and autonomous motivation that negatively influence employees' negative attachment with the organization. In so doing, the work at hand also responds to the recent research calls (Ali et al, 2020a;Usman et al, 2021b) to add Second, by empirically revealing a significant negative relationship between spiritual leadership and alienative commitment, the present study extends the literature on organizational commitment that has mainly focused on the positive aspects of commitment, such as affective and instrumental forms of commitment (Djaelani et al, 2021;Fry et al, 2005). The present work markedly deviates from and contributes to the existing literature on organizational commitment (Ruiz-Palomo et al, 2020) by focusing on the negative affective commitment that has serious negative consequences for the employees and organizations.…”

“…Proceeding further, spiritual leadership, through altruistic love, fosters a climate based on mutual respect and care that leads to positive behaviors, such as forgiveness, gratitude and appreciating others for their contributions (Bayighomog and Arasli, 2022). These positive behaviors provide a basis for the high-quality relationship among followers in the workplace and help eliminate the structural rigidities that hinder meaningful sharing of values, knowledge and information (Ali et al, 2020a;Bayighomog and Araslı, 2019;Fry et al, 2017) and as such can enhance employees' social capital. Prior research on social capital has revealed that social capital facilitates and promotes a collaborative work environment that encourages smooth communication and meaningful social interactions, leading to employees' high-quality interpersonal relationships at work (Chang, 2017;Nahapiet and Ghoshal, 1998).…”

“…Second, past research suggests that spiritual leadership can enhance social capital by improving employees' relational wellbeing and sense of relatedness that are essential components of shaping and developing social capital (Nahapiet and Ghoshal, 1998;Subramony et al, 2018). Notably, altruistic love, an essential constituent of spiritual leadership, inspires employees to demonstrate positive behaviors, such as helping others and showing empathy that help employees build high-quality relationships (Ali et al, 2020a;Yang et al, 2019). Together, we understand that social capital can explain why spiritual leadership is negatively associated with followers' alienative commitment to the organization.…”

PurposeThe purpose of the present study is to examine the relationship between spiritual leadership and employees' alienative commitment to the organization, both directly and indirectly, via employee social capital. We also test the role of employee political skill as a boundary condition of the indirect spiritual leadership–alienative commitment link.Design/methodology/approachTime-lagged data were collected from 491 employees in various manufacturing and service organizations. Data were analyzed using structural modeling equation in Mplus (8.6).FindingsSpiritual leadership was negatively associated with alienative commitment, both directly and indirectly, via social capital. Employee political skill moderated the indirect relationship between spiritual leadership and alienative commitment, such that the relationship was stronger when employee political skill was high (vs low).Practical implicationsThe demonstration of spiritual leadership's behaviors by both managers and employees can develop employees' social capital at work, which in turn can reduce employees' negative commitment to the organization. Likewise, improving employees' political skills can help leadership diminish alienative commitment.Originality/valueThe present work contributes to the literature on spiritual leadership by foregrounding how and why spiritual leadership undermines employee alienative commitment to the organization. By doing so, the study also enhances the nomological networks of the antecedents and outcomes of social capital and contributes to the scant literature on negative alienative commitment. Given the prevalence and negative repercussions of alienative commitment for employees' and organizations' productivity and performance, our findings are timely and relevant.

“…Furthermore, through connections with others, society, self and transcendence, spiritual leaders help individuals become complete, seek meaningful work and become inspired to pursue higher goals and meaning (Hudson, 2014), stimulating passion for work. In addition, Ali et al (2020b) found that spiritual leadership has a positive impact on harmony and security passion through empirical research. Anser et al (2021b) pointed out that the direct relationship between spiritual leadership and OCBE depends on harmonious environmental passion.…”

The hotel manager has the responsibility to stimulate the passion of the staff. The vision, hope/faith, and altruistic love advocated by spiritual leaders can meet the independent psychological needs of employees, thus enhancing their harmonious passion. This study is based on self-determination theory, intrinsic motivation theory and psychological capital theory, and explores the relationship between spiritual leadership and employees’ harmonious passion. This study uses 260 employees of star hotels in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Hefei, Huangshan, and other cities in China. Results show that spiritual leadership positively impacts employees’ harmonious passion, and calling plays an mediation role between spiritual leadership and employees’ harmonious passion. The results are helpful to clarify the formation mechanism of employees’ harmonious passion from the perspective of self-determination theory, intrinsic motivation theory and psychological capital theory and show that spiritual leadership can drive employees’ harmonious passion, especially when hotel vision and employee calling are consistent. Furthermore, the altruistic love of spiritual leaders for their followers also plays a key role in employee calling and promoting harmonious passion. Therefore, this study also emphasizes the importance of calling in improving the harmonious passion of employees. The theoretical and management implications that help to enhance the harmonious passion of employees are discussed in detail.

“…Future researches should focus on increasing the generalizability of the study by conducting longitudinal studies. The authors recommend the time-lag method of data collection wherein the responses are more robust, and measurement biasrelated issues are also reduced significantly (Ali et al, 2020). Furthermore, future investigations could employ constructs that manifest non-hedonic, non-volitional and self-reflective attributes of residents' behaviour towards geoheritage conservation and tourism development, especially in middle-income countries like India (Verma and Chandra, 2018)…”

The Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, India, located at the height of 150 meters above the surrounding sandy plains, is one of the city's most prominent monuments built over the Jodhpur group-Malani-Igneous Suite. The old city, which boasts numerous blue-painted houses, lies adjacent to the Mehrangarh Fort. The residents of the old city play a significant role in keeping the geoheritage and cultural heritage intact. The study investigates the moderating role of residents’ Perception towards support for Geoheritage Tourism and Conservation in and around Mehrangarh Fort. A combination of Weber’s theory of substantive and formal rationality (WTSFR) and Social Exchange Theory (SET) is used to investigate and infer the interposing and moderating role of residents’ perception on the relationship between influencing factors and support for geo-heritage conservation. A PLS evaluation of the SEM reveals a substantial capacity of the residents’ perception to predict support for conservation and tourism development.
