Purpose Workplace spirituality (WPS) influences several desired business outcomes at the individual, team, and organization levels. This has led to the increased acceptance of WPS among researchers and practitioners. But the biggest question among the researchers and practitioners is how to increase the WPS experience among employees. This paper aims to investigate the potential influence of leadership on the WPS levels of employees. Methodology The authors of the current paper review the organizational and human resource management literature and identify the self-determination theory to explain the influence of leadership on WPS. Results The paper suggests that leadership style may potentially influence WPS experience among employees. Implications This paper provides valuable direction to future researchers who plan to test the antecedents of WPS empirically. The potential precursors may be improved with organization-level interventions. The current paper helps the industry practitioners design interventions that may influence WPS among employees.
