Abstract

Retention policies in higher education institutions in India are formulated on the basis of performance of faculty members of the institutions. Till date, academic credentials of faculty members are the basis of their recruitment and selection. But for retaining high performers in the institutions, intelligence beyond cognitive should be inculcated in performance measurement systems of the institutions. This study explores the impact of emotional and spiritual intelligence on performance of faculty members for retention using structural equation modeling. The study reveals that there is significant impact of emotional and spiritual intelligence on faculty performance. Therefore, these forms of intelligence must be included and implemented for performance assessment in higher education systems while framing retention policies.
