Productivity and organizational effectiveness are strongly influenced by employee well-being. With an especially eye on customized mindfulness and meditation techniques based on Date of Birth and Name, this study looks at how spiritual leadership affects employee mental health, stress levels, and general well-being. Survey results from 3,000 workers from different sectors were examined using a mixed-methods approach in tandem with qualitative insights from in-depth interviews.
Key quantitative results showed a strong positive correlation between spiritual leadership and all six dimensions of well-being as measured by Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scales, with notable results in self-acceptance (β = 0.41, p While the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) mean score of 2.4 indicated good mental health, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) scores were 14, suggesting moderate stress levels. customized mindfulness (β = -0.21, p<0.001) and customized meditation (β = -0.19, p<0.001) notably moderated the association between spiritual leadership and mental health outcomes according to mediation analysis.
Qualitative data supported these findings by showing that workers under spiritual leadership reported more workplace inclusion, purpose-driven motivation, and closer relationships, thereby lowering stress, increasing creativity, and improving work-life balance. Participants underlined how tailored spiritual practices advised by their leaders assisted with stress control and general job involvement.
The study comes to the conclusion that spiritual leadership generates a whole, value-driven workplace atmosphere that improves employee well-being, lowers stress, and supports a reasonable work-life integration. Companies embracing spiritual leadership ideas and including tailored mindfulness and meditation practices can help to create a more involved, driven, and creative staff. Future studies should look at cultural differences in the application of spiritual leadership and longterm consequences.
