Predictingleadership practices from spirituali-ty in female leaders of corporations.Ph.D., Walden University.The growing presence of women in leadership positions has sparkedan increased interest in women’sleadership practices. A limited num-ber of publications have acknowl-edged spirituality as an importantvariable in women’s leadership style.Further research is needed to examinethe relationship between spiritualityand leadership practices. This quanti-tative study sought to determinewhether leadership practices offemale corporate leaders can be predicted from their spirituality. The theoretical foundation was groundedin Fry’s spiritual leadership theory,which integrates relevant leader-and-follower higher-order needs and cul-tural and organizational effectivenessinto a causal model framework. Threesurvey instruments—the Inventory onSpirituality (IS), the LeadershipPractices Inventory-Self (LPI-Self),and the Multifactor LeadershipQuestionnaire (MLQ)—were used inthis survey. Multiple linear regressionand bivariate correlations were usedto analyze data from the surveys com-pleted by 181 female leaders of corpo-rations. Results revealed significantrelationships between spirituality andfemale leadership practices of inspir-ing a shared vision, modeling theway, encouraging the heart, and chal-lenging the process.
