Spiritual intelligence and teachers' intention to quit: the mechanism roles of sanctification of work and job satisfaction
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 intent...

Design/methodology/approach: Drawing from multiple intelligence theory, this study adopted a cross-sectional design to explore the hypothesized relationships.

The data collected were analyzed using variance-based structural equation modeling (SEM), Smart-PLS 4.

Practical implications: The result suggests that SoW and JS are significant mechanisms through which SI predicts teachers' TI.
