Abstract: Purpose: The current paper investigates the role of spiritual leadership in increasing employees’ voluntary eco-friendly behavior. This research emphasizes the value of a harmonious green passion (HGP) and connectedness to nature (CTN) as a mediating factor between a spiritual leader (SL) and an employee’s voluntary eco-friendly behavior (VEB). Design/Methodology: The data was provided by a sample of 273 participants who worked as hotel employees in Yogyakarta’s four and five-star hotels. SPSS and AMOS 25 were used as statistical programs to analyze the data. Findings: Based on the discovery, the study presents strong theoretical and managerial implications that hospitality institutions can use to evaluate the importance of spiritual leaders on employees’ eco-friendly behavior among employees. We also discovered that indirect associations between spiritual leadership and employee voluntary eco-friendly behavior exist via connectedness to nature and harmonious green passion. Practical Implication: By shedding further light on how and when a spiritual leader influences employees’ voluntary eco-friendly behavioral intention in hotels, this research added to the body of knowledge on the hospitality industry in South East Asia. Originality: The study offers novelty by emphasizing the function of connectedness to nature and harmonious green passion in the relationship between spiritual leadership and employees’ eco-friendly behavior.
