“…Spiritual leadership motivates members of an organization in a working environment which is based on goodness as a principle of life and ethics and founded on love; it uses hope and belief to reach its objective (Fairholm, 1996).

Spiritual leadership theory emphasizes the spirituality of individual which is ignored by motivation theories and other leadership approaches.…”

“…This connection to something greater can include being a member of an organization that serves others. Or, depending on one's beliefs, the connection to something greater than oneself can include an ultimate, sacred, and divine Nondual force, Higher Power, Being, or God that provides people with purpose and meaning, altruistic spiritual values, rules to live by, and a source of strength and comfort during experiences of adversity (Benefiel et al, 2014;Egel & Fry, 2017).…”

The basic objective of this study is to examine whether there is a relationship between spiritual leadership, school culture, and academic success. The data were collected by mixed method from teachers working in seven high schools and five achievement low level high schools in Şanlıurfa in 2018. The data obtained from the teachers were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods. The conducted analyses revealed two important results. First, it can be claimed that as spiritual leadership perception of teachers increase, so does their school culture perception. The second result is the impact of both spiritual leadership and school culture on academic success. Therefore, the impact of spiritual leadership and school culture on two variables (high success, low success) has been examined separately. As the spiritual leadership and school culture perception of teachers increase, so does academic success.

“…The indigenous leadership, at this stage, promotes religions and cultures that are embedded in a leader. The religion itself has a wide force to create the unique influence to the values, attitudes, and character of a leader or an environment in which they share the same belief [35]. A leader who is nurtured with good religious knowledge and guidance, for example, will almost certainly carry his or her religious character into leadership practice.…”

This study investigates how principals exercise leadership to tackle the difficulties faced by Islamic Senior high schools or Madrasah Aliyahs of three areas in Indonesia: Western, Central and Eastern Indonesia. Employing qualitative methods, the researchers applied multiple case studies technique. The information gathered originated from separate case study classrooms, purposefully chosen madrasah Aliyahs/ Islamic-based high school from government, private, challenging and high-performing schools. It has been disclosed that madrasahs experience countless difficulties, including leadership, curriculum development, classroom equipment, financing and teacher efficiency. In the west and center of Indonesia, madrasahs mainly hampered by the poor infrastructure, learning facilities and lack of financial support, while in the east part beside the financial issues, teachers' performance become huge concerns.The madrasah managers, senior institutional officials, have a critical part to perform in solving these issues, in particular by developing teaching and learning procedures and improving the value of education and the enhancement of schooling. The study found that a kinship leadership is strongly indicated to the principal leadership behaviour. A culture embedded, leadership education, and experience gained by the leaders provide a deep insight on the way they lead an organisation. Although some madrasah adapted professional system like in the case of some high performing schools, the kinship and partnership are strongly occupied by the leaders in order to develop their communication and interaction among the members

“…The most literature on spiritual leadership model theory (Egel and Fry, 2016;Jeon, Passmore, Lee, and Hunsaker, 2013;Hamzah et al, 2016), servant leadership model theory (Greenleaf et al, 2002;Choudhary, Azeem, and Akhtar;2013;Liden, Wayne, Liao, and Meuser, 2014) and character-cantered leadership model theory (Beekun, 2012) is an efforts significant toward understanding and defining the concept of leadership. However, until recently, there was no research on sharia leadership behaviour that integrated these leadership perspectives in Isamic law.…”
