ABSTRACT:
Spirituality can be viewed as a form of intelligence because it predicts functioning and adaptation and offers capabilities that enable people to solve problems and attain goals and has a significant influence on the quality of life. Spiritual intelligence is the ability of human beings to ask questions about the ultimate meaning of life . It results in an increase in psychological well-being of individuals as well as enabling them to have a goal in their life. In searching for the meaning and connection desired, individuals become aligned with their inner or higher self—their spirituality. The purpose of the present study is to study the difference in spiritual intelligence among corporate and school workforce with reference to a case study.
