Background This study investigates the impact of Spiritual Leadership (SL) on the employee’s Intrapreneurial Behavior (IB) in the hospitality sector of Pakistan. Objective Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, we proposed a model with the mediating effect of intrinsic motivation (IM) on the relationship between SL-IB, and moderating effect of Harmonious Work Passion (HWP) on SL-IM, and IM-IPB relationships. Methodology Data was collected form 252, front-line and managerial level employees using purposive sampling technique. Smart PLS 4 was used to test the measurement and structural models. Results The findings revealed that SL has no direct effect on IB but exerts a significant impact mediated by IM. Furthermore, HWP strengthens the SL-IM link, but weakens the IM-IB relationship. Conclusion This indicates a psychological mechanism, highlighting that empowering employees’ inner motivation is more critical than leadership alone. The findings offer a nuanced understanding of driving employees’ intrapreneurial behavior by highlighting the pivotal role of IM and HWP.
