The study revealed both for spiritual intelligence and psychological wellbeing meditators scored higher compared to non-meditators category. All the dimensions of spiritual intelligence and psychological wellbeing were strongly correlated with each other. Meditators scored highest in optimism, non-meditators modesty was highest in psychological wellbeing, meditators scored highest in purpose in life, non-meditator scored highest in positive relation in life. The findings of study have direct implications for practitioners, managerial implications for leadership effectiveness as well. The dimensions of both constructs discussed can be developed to maintain psychological wellness.
