The Relationship between Spiritual Intelligence and Work Satisfaction among Leaders and Employees

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between spiritual intelligence and work satisfaction among both leaders and employees.

Our leading thesis was that leaders and employees with a higher level of spiritual intelligence have a higher level of work satisfaction. In our study, we found no significant relationship between spiritual intelligence and work satisfaction for leaders, but we found a significant positive relationship between spiritual intelligence and workplace satisfaction for employees.
