Abstract

Spiritual intelligence, which is considered within the context of human capital, has a potential to lay the groundwork for individual and organizational transformations. Due to this potential, spiritual intelligence can be regarded as an important antecedent for enhancing individual and organizational performance. This study was conducted to determine the effects of spiritual intelligence levels on the task and contextual performances of nurses working in public hospitals operating in the Cappadocia region. The result of the correlation analyses shows that there have been significant and positive relationships between spiritual intelligence and its all subdimensions and task performance and contextual performance. Following to correlation analyses, regression analyses have been carried out to test effects of independent variable spiritual intelligence and its subdimensions (critical existential thinking, individual’s creation of meaning, metaphysics (abstract) awareness and expanded consciousness) on the dependable variables, task performance and organizational performance. The result of regression analyses shows that critical existential thinking, individual’s creation of meaning and metaphysics (abstract) awareness have significant and positive effects on task performance. Similiarly, individual’s creation of meaning and expanded consciousness have significant and positive effects on contextual performance.
