SELF-ACCEPTANCE AND SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE IN RELATION TO QUARTER-LIFE CRISIS AMONG EMPLOYEES

Abstract

Quarter-life crisis (QLC) is a phase of emotional and psychological crisis commonly experienced by individuals in their 20s to early 30s, especially when facing life pressures, career demands, and the search for identity. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-acceptance and spiritual intelligence with quarter-life crisis among employees. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The subjects of this study were employees of PT. X aged 20–29 years. Data were collected using three psychological scales: the Quarter Life Crisis Scale to measure the quarter-life crisis, the Berger Self-Accance Scale to measure self-acceptance, and the Spiritual Intelligence Self Report Inventory (SISRI-24) to measure spiritual intelligence. The data were analyzed using correlation techniques. The results of the study indicate a significant negative correlation between self acceptance and quarter-life crisis, as well as between spiritual intelligence and quarter-life crisis. The analysis was conducted using correlation tests with multiple regression. The obtained correlation coefficient was 0.342, which means that the independent variables self-acceptance and spiritual intelligence contribute an influence of 34.2% on quarter life crisis.
