Abstract: The present study proposes that spiritual leadership is positively associated with organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) directly and indirectly, via environmental justice orientation. The study also proposes harmonious environmental passion as a moderator of the relationship between spiritual leadership and OCBE. The proposed relationships were tested using time-lagged survey data from 337 supervisor-employee dyads in 41 Chinese firms. We found that spiritual leadership is positively associated with OCBE, both directly and indirectly, via environmental justice orientation. Interestingly, the results revealed that the direct association of spiritual leadership with OCBE was contingent on harmonious environmental passion. Our findings offer important implications that can help managers make appropriate interventions to reduce organizations’ carbon footprint.HighlightsThe relationship between spiritual leadership and OCBE was examinedData were collected from 337 supervisor-employee dyadsSpiritual leadership is positively related to OCBEEnvironmental justice orientation mediates the spiritual leadership-OCBE linkEnvironmental harmonious passion moderates the spiritual leadership-OCBE link
