This chapter provides a summary of the conceptual and empirical literature on the nature and influence of spiritual intelligence. It presents a detailed analysis of the conceptual definitions of CSLSI and its influence on key job-related attitudes, behaviors, and performance outcomes, including organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and well-being. A detailed review of one key CSLSI outcome, servant leadership, affords additional support for CSLSI and its efficacy. The chapter concludes with a summary of the research protocol and sample demographics for the field interviews.
