“…Akinlolu (2013) argued that spirituality encompasses more than just an individual's belief systems or devout practices, piety, and religiosity. To this end, Wintz and Cooper (2009) contended that spirituality is an inherent quality present in every individual, irrespective of their religious beliefs or affiliations. Thus, in a secular sense, spirituality refers to an individual's quest for purpose and meaning in life, which may or may not be connected to religion (Westera, 2016;Tarumi et al, 2016).…”

This quantitative study investigated the relationship between perceived spiritual leadership behavior, leadership skills, and spiritual well-being in Seventh-day Adventist congregations in Rwanda. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire among 312 congregants. Significant correlations were found between spiritual leadership (r = .69; p <.01), leadership skills (r = .31; p <.01), age (r = .13; p <.05), and spiritual well-being. Spiritual leadership behaviors, such as leading by example (β = .14, p < .01), integrity (β = .13, p < .01), spiritual caregiving (β = .21, p< .05), and counseling (β = .16, p < .05), significantly influenced congregational spiritual well-being. However, age, educational level, and gender did not significantly impact spiritual well-being. Overall, spiritual leadership significantly predicted congregational spiritual well-being (adj. r2= 0.47; β = 0.69, p < 0.001) when all variables were considered. These results underscore the importance of spiritual leadership behaviors in enhancing congregational spiritual well-being and underscore the necessity for spiritual leaders to exhibit authentic leadership qualities to positively influence and nurture the spiritual well-being of their congregations.
