Spiritual leadership is a relatively new concept in leadership literature. It aims to intrinsically motivate the leaders and the followers for their spiritual well-being. Job satisfaction is a critical concept with various antecedents and consequences. The situational and dispositional factors or the combination of both factors determine the level of satisfaction of the employees toward their job. How the leaders spiritual leadership influences employees spiritual well-being; and its relationship with the employees job satisfaction are discussed. The framework suggests that spiritual leadership is directly influences employees spiritual well-being and job satisfaction. It is also hypothesized that spiritual well-being is also directly influences job satisfaction and mediates the influence of spiritual leadership on job satisfaction. Key Words: Spiritual Leadership, Spiritual Well-Being, Job Satisfaction. Introduction How do people treat spirituality in the workplace? People always heard about spirituality but reluctant to associate it with the workplace, due to assumptions that workplaces or other social institutions are secular (Hicks, 2002). Some researchers and scholars have argued that future organizational life and social change in our society consists of critical elements such as spirituality, the desire for meaningful work, and employee job satisfaction (Giacalone & Jurkiewicz, 2003; Karakas, 2009; Marques, Dhiman & King, 2005). Duffy (2006) states that limited number of empirical studies were conducted on the relationship between spirituality and work-related variables such as job satisfaction. Some scholars viewed higher levels of job satisfaction could be nurtured for employees who view work as a means of spiritual expression, as they will have a more positive outlook and contribute more to create better working conditions (Ghazzawi & Smith, 2009). However, even though the interests in the relationship between spirituality and job satisfaction are expanding, only a few studies have found a positive influence of spirituality on job satisfaction (Clark et al., 2007), such as works by Milliman, Czaplewski and Ferguson (2003) and Garcia- Zamor (2003), who found that certain dimensions of spirituality were positively related with various aspects of work-related variables such as job satisfaction and involvement. Studies on the link between spirituality and organizational leadership; and the impact of spirituality to employees outcomes such as absenteeism, productivity, turnover, ethicality, stress, and health are growing
