Analysis of structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to test the hypotheses. In this study, the data used are primary data collected by distributing questionnaires. Data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods and, the researcher presented data by describing sorted or organized data and documents obtained and scientifically stated.
Findings
First, spiritual leadership does not directly affect employee performance. Second, quality of worklife as a mediating variable in the relationship between spiritual leadership to employee performance. Given the marked positive coefficient indicates that the higher the spiritual leadership will cause the higher the employee performance if mediated quality of worklife is also higher. Because the direct effect of spiritual leadership to employee performance is insignificant (with positive coefficient), indicate that quality of Worklife as pure moderator, means that spiritual leadership has a relationship to employee performance, only if the employee has the quality of worklife. Third, quality of Worklife as a mediating variable in the relationship between spiritual leadership to employee performance. Given the marked positive coefficient indicates that the higher the spiritual leadership will cause the higher the employee performance if mediated job satisfaction is also higher. Because the direct effect of spiritual leadership to employee performance is insignificant (with positive coefficient), indicate that quality of worklife as pure moderator means that the spiritual leadership has a relationship to employee performance, only if the employee has the quality of worklife.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between spiritual leadership, quality of work life (QWL), ethical behavior, and its implication to organizational citizenship behavior (OCB).
Design/methodology/approach
The study design is the quantitative method as an explanatory research with the purpose to explain the phenomena or pattern of correlation between the concepts (Solimun et al., 2017). Focus on this study is the employees in three private hospitals managed by foundations or religious-based institutions as research areas, namely (1) Adventist Hospital; (2) Pancaran Kasih Hospital; (3) Siti Maryam Hospital, Manado, Indonesia. The population in this study was all the employees, and the sample size is 150 respondents (using Slovin’s Formula), by simple random sampling. The analytical method used to test the hypothesis of the research was structural equation modeling (SEM) covariance based called partial least square (PLS).
Findings
The spiritual leadership has the direct effect QWL. The spiritual leadership has the direct effect on ethical behavior. The spiritual leadership does not have the direct effect on OCB. QWL has the direct effect on OCB. The ethical behavior has the direct effect on OCB. The spiritual leadership has the indirect effect on OCB, with QWL and ethical behavior as mediation variables.
Originality/value
This is one of few research studies comprehensively investigating the relationship between spiritual leadership (as exogenous variable), with QWL and ethical behavior (as intervening variable) and OCB (as endogenous variable). Based on the views and opinions of some of the mentioned writers, we assume that spiritual leadership has a relationship with OCB mediated by QWL or ethical behavior.
