Developing Emotional And Spiritual Intelligence: A Holistic Approach

Abstrak

This research examines the role of emotional intelligence (EI) and spiritual intelligence (SI) in various contexts, including education, work, leadership, and mental health. The methodology used in this study is a systematic literature review of recent research in the last 5 years. The study results indicate that the development of EI and SI is valuable for individual growth, organization, and society. Combining EI and SI in the curriculum can develop students' academic accomplishments and social-emotional skills. In the workplace, employees with high EI and SI are enhanced to manage stress, form positive relationships, and discover the significance of their work. In leadership roles, the integration between EI and SI constructs a holistic and transformational leadership style. The balanced combination between EI and SI will play an important role in individuals' mental health and well-being. The challenge in developing EI and SI is that it lacks human recognition of the importance of EI and SI in holistic human growth. In conclusion, a holistic approach that includes the development of EI and SI can help the growth of individuals, organizations, and society to achieve higher levels of achievement, self-actualization, and well-being.
