Abstract

Purpose

The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of spiritual intelligence (SI) based on its four dimensions (critical existential thinking (CET), personal meaning production (PMP), transcendental awareness (TA) and conscious state expansion (CSE)) on teachers' turnover intention (TI) through sanctification of work (SoW) and job satisfaction (JS).

Design/methodology/approach

Drawing from multiple intelligence theory, this study adopted a cross-sectional design to explore the hypothesized relationships. Copies of the questionnaire were distributed to 367 teachers working in public schools in Plateau State, Nigeria, and 290 out of the retrieved copies were useable. The data collected were analyzed using variance-based structural equation modeling (SEM), Smart-PLS 4.

Findings

The results suggest that SI does not significantly influence TI, while SoW and JS mediate the relationship between SI and TI.

Practical implications

The result suggests that SoW and JS are significant mechanisms through which SI predicts teachers' TI. This highlights the need for educational policymakers to integrate spiritual literature as well as imbibe spiritual practices such as prayers, meditations and yoga either at work or privately to enhance the development of SI among teachers.

Originality/value

The results offer an insightful understanding of SI and how it influences work outcomes. The mechanism roles of SoW and JS explain the process by which one's perceived numinous object, activity event and job experience influence a job decision.

精神智能与教师的辞职意愿:工作神圣化和工作满意度的机制作用
目的本研究的主要目的是通过工作神圣化(SoW)和工作满意度(JS),分析基于四个维度(批判性存在思维(CET)、个人意义生成(PMP)、超验意识(TA)和意识状态扩展(CSE))的灵性智能(SI)对教师离职意向(TI)的影响。本研究向在尼日利亚高原州公立学校工作的 367 名教师发放了调查问卷,收回的问卷中有 290 份可用。使用基于方差的结构方程模型(SEM)、Smart-PLS 4 对收集到的数据进行了分析。研究结果表明,SI 并不显著影响 TI,而 SoW 和 JS 是 SI 与 TI 关系的中介。这凸显了教育政策制定者在工作中或私下整合灵性文献以及吸收灵性实践(如祈祷、冥想和瑜伽)的必要性,以促进教师灵性的发展。SoW和JS的机制作用解释了一个人的感知对象、活动事件和工作经历对工作决策的影响过程。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Educational Management (IJEM) provides those interested in the effective management of the educational process with a broad overview of developments and best practice in the field, with particular reference to how new ideas can be applied worldwide. As the whole structure and philosophy of education goes through a sea-change, and as budgets are cut, educational managers need to keep abreast of new developments in order to maximize their resources and determine the most appropriate management strategy for their institution. The journal explores research in the following areas: -Innovation in educational management across the spectrum -The development of educational delivery mechanisms -Creation of an environment in which the management of resources provides the most efficient outputs -Sharing of new initiatives, with an international application The International Journal of Educational Management addresses the increasingly complex role of the educational manager, offering international perspectives on common problems and providing a forum for the sharing of ideas, information and expertise.
