The productivity of worker is crucial not only for company performance but also for sustainable development. In the context of knowledge-economy firms, leadership issues and knowledge resources capabilities are likely to enhance knowledge worker productivity. The purpose of this study is to design a preliminary conceptual analysis of spiritual leadership and knowledge explorative-exploitative on knowledge worker productivity. This study adopts a systematic literature review (SLR) through searching, analysing, and selecting research studies comprising a total of 1355 research papers. The literature was searched in digital scientific libraries and big indexing systems such as Web of Science and Scopus. This research essentially contributes to providing a conceptual/theoretical model of effective knowledge explorative-exploitative in the context of knowledge workers productivity. Several enabler factors such as spiritual leadership (vision, hope/faith, altruistic), knowledge explorative (socialization and internalization), knowledge exploitative (combination and externalization), and knowledge worker productivity (job outcome, problem-solving, work scheduling) were explored and explained. The research provides beneficial knowledge and strategy for managers/leaders on ways to initiate and develop a knowledge-sharing strategy to enhance employee's effectiveness through pursuing and maximizing leadership contributions. Multifarious constructs and theories are combined. This model further offers a new paradigm for upcoming research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
