Abstract

Background: Any organization's success is largely determined by how it recruits,
motivates, and maintains its staff. As a result, organizations must implement a strategy that
improves employees' quality of work life in order to meet both organizational and employee
needs. When dealing with changes at work and boosting performance, employee engagement
and spiritual intelligence are crucial aspects to consider. Aim: to assess the relationship
between spiritual intelligence, work engagement and the quality of work life among nurses at
Zagazig University Hospitals. Study design: The researchers utilized a descriptive
correlational study design. The study took place at Zagazig University Hospitals (Academic
Hospitals), Egypt. Study subjects: A stratified random sample was used and 384 nurses
were chosen from the above mentioned setting. Tools of data collection: The data was
gathered utilizing a four-part questionnaire sheet for staff nurses: Personal characteristics,
spiritual intelligence self-assessment questionnaire, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale
(UWES), and quality of work life survey. Results: revealed that 74.5% of staff nurses have
moderate quality of work life, while 95.3% and 82.6% of them had high spiritual intelligence
and work engagement respectively with all domains. Conclusion: Spiritual intelligence was
a good predictor of nurses' work engagement and quality of work life, with a statistically
significant difference between all spiritual intelligence dimensions, work engagement, and
quality of work life. Recommendation: It is suggested that a fair reward system be
developed that includes
both financial and non-financial rewards, as well as reducing
feelings of nervousness,
strain, frustration, and stress at work in order to improve the
perceived quality of work life and enhance nurses' spiritual intelligence by encouraging them
to participate in problem
solving and decision-making, as well as providing adequate help
and support.
