%X This study proposed and tested a model that included the possible effects of top Turkish managers' spiritual and emotional intelligences on their organizations' financial performance. Two instruments, the short versions of the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i:S) and the Integrated Spiritual Intelligence Scale (ISIS), were selected to measure these two forms of intelligence among top managers selected from organizations in the organized industrial zones of Istanbul. It was difficult to retrieve the financial data directly; thus, the top managers were required to rate their organizations' financial performance relative to that of their competitors. The results indicated that some relationships existed among factors related to emotional and spiritual intelligences but that there was not a mixture of these two intelligences. In other words, there was not a common factor that included some of the items of these two forms of intelligence together. Additionally, each of spiritual intelligence factors affected financial performance very weakly, whereas most factors of emotional intelligence did not have any statistically significant effect on the performance. The model showed that the two forms of intelligence combined failed to positively affect financial performance.
