Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EI) has its definitions based on trait or ability model. Spiritual intelligence has been shown to be associated with corporate emotional intelligence. The aim of this article is to carry out systematic literature review on emotional intelligence and its association with spiritual intelligence. In this, 782 records on emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence were identified through Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. A total of 768 records remained after 14 records were removed due to duplication. Following exclusion criteria, 662 records were removed, leaving a total of 106 records. Out of this, 99 records were deemed not fit for the research question. A total of 7 records finally were deemed suitable for analyses. These articles focused on the effect of spiritual intelligence on emotional intelligence or association between spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence. However, there is insufficient evidence of a direct link between spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence. A more comprehensive study should be carried out to establish the link.
