Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationships between spiritual leadership, trust, and stress in two private-sector universities located in Lahore, Pakistan. The sample consisted of 375 participants. Data was collected through surveys, and the analysis was conducted using the Heys process macro in SPSS. The findings of the study revealed several important insights. Firstly, the study found a significant positive direct effect of spiritual leadership on trust, indicating that higher levels of spiritual leadership were associated with increased levels of trust among individuals within the universities. Furthermore, a significant negative direct effect of trust on stress was observed, suggesting that higher levels of trust were linked to lower levels of stress among participants. Additionally, the study identified trust as a mediator in the relationship between spiritual leadership and stress. The mediation analysis highlighted that part of the influence of spiritual leadership on stress was transmitted through its impact on trust. Trust was found to play a significant role in mediating the relationship between spiritual leadership and stress levels in the context of these private-sector universities. Based on these findings, the study concludes that spiritual leadership plays a crucial role in fostering trust in the investigated universities. Moreover, trust serves as a protective factor against stress, indicating that individuals who perceive higher levels of trust experience reduced levels of stress. These results have implications for leadership practices within educational institutions, particularly in the private sector in Lahore, Pakistan. Fostering spiritual leadership qualities and building trust among faculty members and administrators may contribute to reducing stress levels and promoting a healthier work environment. However, it is important to note that these conclusions are based on the specific context and sample of this study.

精神领导通过组织信任对大学教师压力的影响
本研究旨在调查位于巴基斯坦拉合尔的两所私立大学的精神领导、信任和压力之间的关系。样本由375名参与者组成。通过调查收集数据,并使用SPSS中的Heys过程宏进行分析。这项研究的发现揭示了几个重要的见解。首先,研究发现精神领导对信任有显著的正向直接影响,表明更高的精神领导水平与大学内部个人之间的信任水平增加有关。此外,我们还观察到信任对压力有显著的负向直接影响,这表明参与者之间的信任水平越高,压力水平越低。此外,研究还发现信任在精神领导与压力的关系中起中介作用。中介分析强调,精神领导对压力的部分影响是通过对信任的影响来传递的。研究发现,在这些私立大学的背景下,信任在精神领导与压力水平之间的中介关系中发挥了重要作用。基于这些发现,研究得出结论,在被调查的大学中,精神领导在培养信任方面起着至关重要的作用。此外,信任是对抗压力的保护因素,这表明信任水平较高的个体压力水平较低。这些结果对教育机构,特别是巴基斯坦拉合尔的私营部门的领导实践具有启示意义。培养精神领导素质,在教职员工和管理人员之间建立信任,可能有助于减轻压力水平,促进更健康的工作环境。然而,值得注意的是,这些结论是基于本研究的特定背景和样本。
