Abstract
This theoretical review explores the interconnectedness of spirituality, spiritual intelligence (SQ), and organizational learning. We propose a novel framework that examines how cultivating these intangible factors fosters a supportive learning culture within organizations. This supportive environment, in turn, leads to enhanced knowledge creation, retention, and transfer. This focus on intangible factors strengthens organizational learning capabilities, fuelling improved performance and sustained growth. Drawing on organizational learning theory, the framework investigates how both spirituality and SQ contribute to key aspects of organizational success. We posit that spirituality promotes employee well-being and a sense of purpose, fostering a more engaged workforce. Furthermore, SQ equips individuals with the skills and mindset necessary for active learning. These combined effects contribute to leadership effectiveness by fostering a psychologically safe environment conducive to knowledge-sharing behaviours. This framework highlights how spirituality and SQ act as catalysts for a more robust learning environment. This review offers valuable insights for organizations seeking to enhance their learning capabilities and achieve a competitive edge. By recognizing the importance of spirituality and SQ, and implementing practices that cultivate these factors, organizations can create a culture of continuous learning and drive long-term success.
