Abstract

Spiritual intelligence plays a pivotal role in augmenting organizational commitment, project productivity, and the empowerment of managers. Given the limited endeavors in the realm of designing an empowerment model predicated on spiritual capital, this research undertakes a descriptive-exploratory approach to elucidate and explore the phenomenon under investigation. Subsequent to a comprehensive delineation of the phenomenon, the collective perspective of the broader community regarding the subject matter is articulated. This study employs a descriptive-exploratory methodology with a qualitative orientation. The statistical population comprises expert professionals, academic scholars, and branch managers of a banking institution. Data collection involved library document analysis using the meta-synthesis method and interviews conducted with 10 experts, selected through a non-random purposive sampling technique utilizing snowball sampling. The collected data underwent examination and evaluation via thematic analysis. The research findings culminated in the development of a model that elucidates managerial empowerment across four dimensions: psychological, managerial, individual, and organizational, grounded in the 12 characteristics of spiritual capital. To achieve maximal managerial empowerment based on spiritual capital, it is imperative to consider the aforementioned dimensions and components within advancement and retraining programs.
