Abstract

The workplace environment keeps on changing, indicating its dynamic nature as well as unpredictability. The workforce is now more diverse, not only in terms of age but also of nationality.

For Indonesia to manage its country's future, the national education system must be able to offer a solution that can break out of the circle in moral values by applying aspects of intelligence which include intellectual intelligence (IQ), emotional intelligence (EQ), and spiritual intelligence (SQ) (Chin, Anantharaman, & Tong, 2011;Kaur, Sambasivan & Kumar, 2013).
