Abstract
This study aims to analyse the correlation between spiritual intelligence and psychological well-being among students in Islamic educational institutions, as well as to identify the role of the educational environment in strengthening this relationship. The research method used a quantitative correlational approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 200 students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Spiritual Intelligence Scale (adapted from SISRI-24) and the Psychological Well-being Scale (based on Ryff's model), and analysed using Pearson's correlation test and linear regression. The results of the study indicate a significant positive correlation between spiritual intelligence and psychological well-being (r=0.62; p<0.01), with spiritual intelligence contributing 38.4% to the variation in psychological well-being. The dimensions of transcendental awareness and the ability to find meaning in life emerged as the strongest predictors. Qualitative analysis revealed that religious practices and an Islamic educational environment act as mediators in strengthening this relationship. These findings support Zohar and Marshall's theory of spiritual intelligence and Ryff's psychological well-being model, while also offering practical implications for the development of holistic educational programs in Islamic educational institutions.
