Integrating Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) and Employee Psychological Well being: Conceptualizing a Holistic Management Model for the 21st centuryŠuša, Jovana (Avtor) Šarotar Žižek, Simona (Mentor) Spiritual IntelligenceEmployee Well-beingConceptual ModelMeaning at WorkOrganizational CultureLeadership.In the contemporary business environment, psychological well-being and employee retention are essential strategic priorities. We observe that Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) is increasingly recognised as a resource for building resilience, yet its theoretical framework remains fragmented. To address this gap, we conduct a systematic literature synthesis and develop an integrative holistic management model that clarifies how SQ contributes to employee well-being. Our findings show that SQ does not affect well-being directly; instead, it operates through two key psychological pathways- enhancing meaning at work and strengthening social support. The magnitude of these effects depends on contextual factors; organizational culture and leadership style act as critical moderators that can amplify or suppress the positive impact of SQ. We conclude that sustainable employee well-being emerges from the alignment of personal capacities (SQ) with a supportive organisational ecosystem, providing both a novel theoretical framework for future research and a practical guide for managers and HR professionals seeking to create more meaningful and humane work environments.J.
