This study examined leadership outcomes through the dual lens of workplace spirituality and character development, highlighting their combined role in enhancing leadership effectiveness. The primary aim was to explore how these constructs influenced leadership practices within organizational contexts. The introduction positioned spirituality and character as complementary frameworks for fostering values-driven leadership in increasingly complex environments. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a structured survey administered to 210 respondents across diverse organizational sectors. The measures included validated scales for workplace spirituality, character development, and leadership effectiveness. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression modelling were conducted to test the relationships among variables. The results indicated strong positive correlations between workplace spirituality and leadership effectiveness, as well as between character development and leadership outcomes. Among the predictors, character development demonstrated the strongest effect, highlighting the importance of virtues such as integrity and accountability. Furthermore, the interaction of spirituality and character revealed a synergistic influence on leadership, underscoring the significance of integrating both dimensions into leadership development practices. The study concluded that leadership effectiveness is best cultivated when organizations promote both spiritual awareness and character-based competencies. Future research was recommended to employ longitudinal and cross-cultural approaches, offering deeper insights into the evolving dynamics of spirituality, character, and leadership in global contexts.
