组织中的精神领导和灵性能够促进个人和组织的成果。作为一种新确立的范式，这一概念存在许多模糊之处，其定义也受到文化背景的极大影响。
本研究旨在从护士的角度确定精神领导的概念，并识别伊朗护士社会文化背景下精神领导模式的各个方面，以对该研究概念达成共同且全面的理解。
本定性研究采用定向内容分析法。本研究的参与者为德黑兰医科大学附属医院不同病房的14名管理人员和护士，根据纳入标准采用目的抽样法选取。2015年10月至2016年3月通过个人、深入和半结构化访谈收集数据。
本研究共访谈了14名参与者，其中11名女性和3名男性，年龄在26至52岁之间，平均工作经验为13年。数据分析后提炼出33个子类别，分为9个类别和3个主要类别，包括“精神领导”、“精神福祉”和“组织后果”。研究结果表明，精神领导可以通过运用内在激励，借助组织学习中的外在激励因素来帮助促进个人和组织的成果。
