“…Recent research has provided some correlational support for this idea. Trait gratitude is positively correlated with humility (e.g., Uhder, Watkins, & Hammamoto, 2010) and negatively associated with narcissism (after controlling for self-esteem; McLeod, Maleki, Elster, & Watkins, 2005). Because an accurate recognition of one's limitations is often cited as a core component of humility, it would follow that the humble person would have a keen sense of their own mortality.…”

Although gratitude is important to the good life, little is known about factors that enhance gratitude. Some have suggested that traumatic events such as near-death experiences and life-threatening illnesses might enhance gratitude. If reflecting on death causes one to appreciate life as a limited resource, this might enhance gratitude. This study investigated this theory. Participants were randomly assigned to a death reflection condition, a traditional mortality salience condition, or to a control condition. Participants in the death reflection and the mortality salience conditions showed enhanced gratitude compared to individuals in the control condition, supporting the theory that becoming aware of one's mortal limitations enhances gratitude for the life that what one has.

“…Secondly, in addition to establishing a connection between benefactor and beneficiary, gratitude also strengthens one's relationship with the divine. Several researchers, including Uhder et al (2010), Watkins et al (2014), also supports the fact that gratitude builds and strengthens spirituality. Thirdly, gratitude promoted civil communities and organizations.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the linkage between gratitude and leadership among university teachers. It also tended to examine mediating and moderating effect of social intelligence amidst the relationship between gratitude and leadership. As social intelligence is a multi-dimensional concept, this paper explored mediating and moderating effect of three dimensions of social intelligence, i.e. social awareness, social skills and social information processing. Design/methodology/approach Mediation effect was examined with help of Baron and Kenny’s (1986) technique, Sobel test and bootstrapping estimates. Significance of interaction between independent variable (gratitude) and moderator (social intelligence) was investigated for moderation analysis. Findings The findings reported partial mediating effect of all three dimensions of social intelligence. No significant moderation effect was observed. Originality/value This is one of the pioneer studies that explored interrelationship between gratitude, social intelligence and leadership among Indian University teachers.
