Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between the spiritual intelligence, self-control, and life satisfaction in high school teachers of Mahshahr city. To this end, 253 people of all high school teachers in Mahshahr city were selected as the sample using the multistage cluster sampling method. For data collection, King’s (2008) spiritual intelligence questionnaire, Schneider’s self-control questionnaire and Diener et al. (1985) life satisfaction questionnaire were used. For data analysis, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used. Results showed that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between the self-control and life satisfaction. However, there is no a meaningful relationship between the spiritual intelligence and life satisfaction. Results also showed that spiritual intelligence and self-control can predict the life satisfaction.
