Abstract: Since Howthorne studies, greater emphasis has been placed on the human side of organizations than the traditional organizational structures characterized by centralized, standardized, formal and fear based bureaucratic formations. This emphasis on human side leads to new theories and paradigms of organizations and management. Spiritual leadership comprises belief, values, attitudes, and behaviors that are necessary to intrinsically motivate one's self and others so that they have a sense of spiritual well-being through calling and membership and, ultimately, become more organizationally committed and productive. In this study, first, spiritual leadership as a new paradigm was explained in a relational structure related with spiritual leadership theory of Fry and second some findings of researches about spiritual leadership were given and spiritual leadership was discussed and examined in the center of new values brought by the theory.
