Spiritual leadership and corporate social entrepreneurial orientation: the mediating role of workplace spirituality

Purpose

The main aim of this study is to examine a moderated–mediated model empirically to understand whether and how spiritual leadership (SL) affects corporate social entrepreneurial orientation (SEO) with the role of workplace spirituality (WS).

Design/methodology/approach

The study adopts a sample of 524 key role employees at 76 four–five-star hotels and tourism firms in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam, using a partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM).

Findings

SL of social entrepreneurs can vigorously promote corporate SEO's formation and development, with WS's mediating role.

Originality/value

This study demonstrates how SL and WS can help organisations achieve higher corporate SEO levels in contradictory empirical evidence and a lack of theoretical framework.
