Abstract
This paper explored level of spiritual and psychological well-being of Muslim staffs at International Islamic College. Dein (2007) defined religion as collections of beliefs, practices, and institutions related to spiritual matters and spirituality as experiences and beliefs about higher meaning, intelligence, and purpose to existence and life. Both are fundamentally related to the discipline of psychology, and our psychological conceptions and comprehension of spirituality and religion influence our physical, emotional, mental, and social health and evolution. Clearly, one can be spiritual without being part of an organized religion. Spirituality is about enjoying the benefits of a connectedness with one’s innermost self, as well as seeking one’s place and purpose within the broader universe. Thus spirituality is a mighty, cohesive force within the individual, and within our humankind. This study involved 100 respondents from various departments in International Islamic College. The collected data were coded using the Master Code prepared by the researcher. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) WIN 16.0. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the study. Descriptive statistics used include frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and correlation while inferential statistics used was t-test, and regression. One sample t-tests was used to examine the magnitude of spiritual and psychological health of the respondents. The results provided some support for the belief that the Muslim staffs of the International Islamic College enjoy adequate spiritual and psychological health and there is significant association between their spiritual health and psychological health’s.
