520 $a Purpose. The purpose of this study was to explore ways individuals in mid-management-level roles incorporate their spirituality into their leadership practice, and to explore their perspectives on how it has impacted their careers.
520 $a Methodology. This qualitative study consisted of face-to-face interviews of 6 mid-level-management leaders (nonexecutive) in for-profit organizations who identified themselves as spiritual. The semistructured interviews consisted of 7 open-ended questions. Based on the answers, some follow-up questions were required. A thematic analysis process was used to interpret the data.
520 $a Findings. Examination of the data from the participants suggested that leaders incorporating spirituality use authentic leadership. Furthermore, spiritual inclusion for mid-level-management leaders focuses on interpersonal relationships, continued learning, and Fry's altruistic love. Participants perceived a positive impact on their careers from incorporating spirituality in their leadership. Participants found intrinsic motivation through their spirituality in ways including prayer. Participants incorporated spirituality into their leadership but were not open to discussion about spirituality unless engaged by the employee first.
520 $a Conclusions. The study suggests that mid-level managers, in most cases, have experienced a positive impact in their careers from incorporating spirituality. The participants used spirituality as a means to add purpose to their life through their jobs. Spirituality in leadership can be conveyed through Fry's altruistic love, relationships, continuous learning, and authenticity.
520 $a Recommendations. Further research is advised: How do followers perceive middle managers' expressions of their spirituality? Do executive-level leaders feel differently about expressing their spirituality in their leadership, and did this change as they were promoted through the ranks?
520 $a Implications. Mid-level managers who want to incorporate spirituality into their leadership can do so with pluralism through values and common respect for others.
