“…As part of assessing Model validity, two major validities are tested: convergent validity and discriminant validity. The factor loadings values for all three factors were more significant than 0.5 (acceptable value), the composite reliability was more significant than 0.7 (acceptable value) and the average variance extracted was also greater than 0.5 (acceptable value) except for factor# 1 which was 0.498, which is close to the acceptable value of 0.5, these three measures establish the model's convergent validity (Saad et al. , 2015).…”

PurposeHigher education institutions aim for the holistic development of students to cope with the changing global context. The present study aims to devise a model of leadership development among higher education students by validating the model conceptually and testing it empirically. Attributes of Spiritual Intelligence (SI) are empirically evaluated for leadership development post its conceptual validation.Design/methodology/approachThis article examined current theoretical frameworks and gaps in the literature. A total of 810 students were approached from Indian Higher education institutions for study. Data has been examined using the exploratory and then confirmatory factor analysis techniques to check the validity and reliability of the measuring instrument.FindingsThe empirical findings confirm that the eight new spiritual intelligence attributes defined and validated through this study can have a significant impact on the leadership development of higher education students.Practical implicationsEducational researchers have often found the construct of spiritual intelligence challenging to comprehend and implement in higher education institutions. The present study findings can be of great value to higher education institutions that will recognize the importance of spiritual values in holistic development including leadership development.Originality/valueThis paper initiates and validate a universal set of attributes of spiritual intelligence in the higher education domain that can be useful for leadership development. The uniqueness of this paper lies in the fact that the eight new attributes of SI defined are easy to comprehend and practical to use in daily academic life, and can be used by HEIs students irrespective of their spiritual beliefs. A validated model at one university could be replicated at other universities in India and around the world, not only for students but also for educators and administrators as well.

“…Besides, Jumahat (2016), Rahman and Shah (2015) explained that Islamic Spiritual Intelligence promotes ethical behaviours and it helps to generate a thirst to search for meaning in whatever human being doing (Baldacchino, 2015). Moreover, spiritual intelligence contributes to the making a holistic personality (Ahmed et al, 2016;Hassan, 2010;Saad, See, Adil, & Kassim, 2018). All these aspects directly influence a leader to be competent in a better way.…”

International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) has been contributing to the holistic development of human capital through Islamization of human knowledge. It has also been developing young leaders by inculcating the values and resilience needed to survive as good leaders in the 21st century. This study aims to investigate the levels of perceptions and practices of student leaders’ leadership competencies (LCSL), Islamic Spiritual Intelligence (ISI), Emotional Intelligence (EI), and Islamization of Human Knowledge (IOHK) at IIUM. The current study employs a quantitative cross-sectional survey with a stratified random sampling technique. The data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, distributed to 372 student leaders in the year 2018/2019. The results from the descriptive analysis revealed that student leaders’ practices and perceptions of IOHK (78%), EI (78%), ISI (91%), and LCSL (79%) exceeded 50%. The results of this study may contribute to the previous models of leadership competencies, such as Islamic Spiritual Intelligence by Jumahat et al., Emotional Intelligence by Goleman, Man of Sound Reasoning of Islamization of Human Knowledge by Hassan, Student Leadership Competencies by Seemiller, and Integrative Global Leadership to Develop Young Leaders by Park et al.

One of the biggest challenges in tertiary education is that lecturers need to be versatile and able to quickly adapt to different challenges in many different functions or activities such as recruiting new student. Moreover, a higher timetable load may contribute to emotional stress, and lecturers need to know how to work with unpredictable situations like difficult students or office politics. Thus, lecturers need a huge support system in place to deal with these situations at work, but information on lecturers’ coping abilities, specifically referred to as spiritual intelligence (SQ) is limited and not yet understood. Therefore, this study aims to examine how the SQ affects performance of lecturers in privately-owned universities by measuring the quality services. Based on the questionnaires distributed to lecturers in selected privately-owned universities, this study found that the SQ level among the young lecturers was quite high. It was also revealed that all sub-dimensions of SQ were positive and also significantly affected the performance of the lecturers. The standardised coefficient beta values indicated that the sub-dimensions of Transcendence contributed to 37%, while Meaning contributed to 31% Service Quality.
