The Influence of Spiritual Intelligence to promote Ethical behaviour in the Organizations

During the last decade, many organizations collapsed due to severe ethical crisis. Spiritual intelligence represents the extent to which higher values, meaning and a sense of purpose influence an individual’s decisions and actions. Spiritual intelligence concerns the ability to become more conscious of the lower motivations (i.e. fear, greed, ego) and how to transform these to higher motivations that are more sustainable (i.e. creativity, serving the community, etc.) The main objective of the current paper is to study the importance of Spiritual Quotient to restore ethical behaviour among the employees and thus promote organizational sustainability. Spiritual Quotient is the ultimate intelligence with which people address and solve the problems associated with meaning and value. Thus, the paper concludes that employee unethical behaviour in an organization can be solved through Spiritual Quotient and ethical values in organization.
