Exploring the Role of Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence in enhancing Teaching Competency: A Study on the Influence of Personal Growth and Interpersonal Skills on Educator effectiveness

This study examines the role of emotional intelligence (EI) and spiritual intelligence (SI) in enhancing teaching competency, emphasizing the mediating influence of personal growth and interpersonal skills on educator effectiveness. Emotional intelligence, which encompasses self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and social skills, enables teachers to manage classroom dynamics, foster meaningful relationships, and create supportive learning environments. Similarly, spiritual intelligence, defined by purpose-driven actions, ethical alignment, and resilience, equips educators to inspire students holistically while maintaining balance and moral integrity in their professional roles. The interplay of these intelligences with personal growth, characterized by self-reflection, adaptability, and continuous learning, further enriches teaching practices, enabling educators to respond effectively to evolving classroom challenges. Interpersonal skills, including communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution, are integral to building constructive relationships with students, colleagues, and parents, amplifying the impact of EI and SI on teaching effectiveness. Employing a mixed methods approach, the study combines quantitative measures of EI, SI, and teaching competency with qualitative insights from interviews and focus groups to provide a comprehensive understanding of these dynamics. Findings highlight the transformative potential of integrating EI and SI into teacher training programs, fostering a holistic approach to professional development that prioritizes emotional and spiritual dimensions alongside technical expertise. The study underscores the importance of fostering these intelligences to empower educators to navigate the complexities of modern education with resilience, empathy, and purpose. By advancing a framework that integrates emotional and spiritual intelligence with personal and interpersonal development, this research contributes to the growing body of knowledge advocating for a more inclusive and value-driven approach to enhancing teaching competency and improving educational outcomes.
