ENThis article presents a study with the goal of revealing experiences in the expression of the fairness of spiritual leaders in organisational culture. The result – expressions of fairness in Lithuanian mid-level organisational culture as the experiences of spiritual leaders. The study is described on the basis of P. Ricoeur’s interpretations, grounded on the phenomenological hermeneutics method of A. Lindseth (2004) and A. Norberg (2004), which are used in the interpretation of interviews. By applying this method, the prior statements (hypotheses) of the research object are not formulated. The experiences of leaders can be defined as the prefigured world they live in, configured during the interview. The findings show that the experiences of leaders, arising from their core assumptions, were revealed through the golden rule, the ability to recognise and take responsibility for your mistakes, ignoring the status of employees within their work environment, moral business, moral and ethical decisions, cooperation without lies, separation of individual truth, truth in legal regulations, mediation, search for objective truth. Clear experiences in the expression of the fairness of spiritual leaders opened up opportunities for organisational culture to give rise to such features as high moral standards, saying the truth, and aiming for objectivity.
