The data was collected through surveys, 70 participants completed the spiritual intelligence self-report inventory (King 2008), counter productive work behaviour checklist (Spector, P. E., Fox, S., Penney, L. M., Bruursema, K., Goh, A., and Kessler, S. (2006)) and the job satisfaction survey (Paul E. Spector, 1985). Descriptive statistic, Pearson correlation was used to assess the association between spiritual intelligence, counterproductive work behaviours and job satisfaction. The result shows (1) there is a significant positive relationship between spiritual intelligence and job satisfaction, (2) there is a negative relationship between job satisfaction and counterproductive work behaviour, (3) there is no significant relationship found between spiritual intelligence and counterproductive work behaviour. From the above findings it can be concluded that educational training programs aimed at promoting spiritual intelligence may improve the job satisfaction and reduce counterproductive work behaviour among employees.
