| Summary: | The pattern and scope of business are changing frequently these days. Smart managers play
various creative roles to deal with this rapid change and development. Continuous innovation
and generation of new ideas are now adding value to the strategic business management. Thus, it
seems that fresh ideas and new intelligence are needed to help managers to manage better, and
leaders to lead more effectively. Spiritual intelligence plays a significant role in helping the
managers and employees to deal with this dynamic change in the business environment. Spiritual
intelligence is defined as understanding the meaning and context of our behavior and action that
makes mindful choices rather than enchaining us to respond reflexively to life’s demands. It has
an influence over individual behavior that will have an effect on individual work performance.
This conceptual paper analyzes the nature of relationship existing between spiritual intelligence
and employee performance mediated by organizational citizenship behavior. No empirical study
was found to have investigated the nature to relationships existing among various dimensions of
spiritual intelligence and employee performance with mediating effects of organizational
citizenship behavior. HRD and management scholars may take the initiatives to identify and
evaluate the pertinent issues that can influence employee performance improvement through
enhancing their dimensions of spiritual intelligence. Future research can also identify appropriate
HRD interventions that can be used to improve employee performance through improving
various dimensions of their spiritual intelligence and organization citizenship behavior. |
