Abstract

Emotional intelligence is a crucial determinant of the efficacy of church services, since people often face vulnerabilities that result in both internal and external challenges. The cultivation requires religious understanding and implies robust self-management abilities from leaders. In the absence of good self-management, leaders have difficulties in cultivating their emotional intelligence. This research aimed to examine the challenges surrounding the contradictory link between virtual spiritual leadership (SL) and emotional intelligence (EI). as predictor and criterion factors, respectively, with Self-Management (SM) serving as the mediating variable. This study uses WarpPLS software in data processing. This research examines the impact of spiritual leadership on emotional intelligence, with self-management serving as both a moderating and mediating factor. The analysis is conducted in accordance with the methodological guidelines established by Hair (J. F. Hair et al., 2019a), ensuring a rigorous and systematic approach to evaluating the proposed relationships within the model, the sample included 85 participants, consisting of leaders and church council members from the Indonesian Methodist Church, District 3, Region 1. The sample included 17 indicators generated from 4 constructs, each multiplied by 5. The findings indicated that SL significantly influenced both SM and EI. SM demonstrated a direct impact on EI and showed the potential to modulate the link between SL and EI. The analysis revealed that SL contributed just 14% to the variation in SM, and its mediated effect on EI via SM is also 14%. Nonetheless, SM failed to effectively moderate the link between SL and EI.

  • Heryanto et al. (2025) highlighted social awareness and self-awareness as essential skills for an emotionally intelligent leader.

    “In addition to self-management, the study highlights two skills as essential for an emotionally intelligent leader: social awareness and self-awareness.”

    The Introduction (page unavailable) says a church leader must possess self-awareness and social awareness to lead effectively. That supports the two skills, but the passage makes the point specifically about church leaders, whereas the citing sentence presents it as applying to emotionally intelligent leaders generally.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
