Abstract

The current study is aiming at recognizing the relation between spiritual intelligence and psychological endurance among faculty members of Jadara University along with calculating differences according to sex, academic degree, years of experience and marital status through a sample of 124 persons. In order to achieve study objectives, researchers used the spiritual intelligence scale developed by Amram and translated by Al-Issal along with the psychological endurance scale developed by Connor and Davidson and translated by Al-Talla’. Results indicated positive correlation of statistical denotation between spiritual intelligence and psychological endurance among faculty members of Jadara University while indicating that faculty members have high level of spiritual intelligence and psychological endurance. Results also clarified lack of difference of statistical denotation in the averages of spiritual intelligence in all aspects among faculty members according to study variables (sex, academic degree, years of experience and marital status), while indicating differences of statistical denotation in the averages of psychological endurance in all aspects among faculty members referring to sex among females. Results indicate lack of differences of statistical denotation in the averages of psychological endurance according to study variables (sex, academic degree, years of experience and marital status), as well as the potential of predicting total degree for estimating psychological endurance through the total degree of spiritual intelligence among faculty members at Jadara University.
