The research paper evaluates the various facets of intelligence including Islamic (spiritual) intelligence (SI), artificial intelligence (AI), and emotional intelligence (EI). The research examines the impact of these three conceptions of intelligence on workplace dynamics and performance as well as the effect of the three elements on the overall workplace success. The recently significant rise in the application of various elements of intelligence in addition to conventional human intelligence factors, the importance of understanding and employing the same is a valuable proposition especially in context of enhancing workplace productivity and to ensure positive influence of various intelligence dimensions in their individual and collective background to warrant a thriving organizational environment to eventually attain favorable outcomes from professional perspective. The Islamic or SI construct entails actions and decisions in consonance to Islamic principles and guidelines whereas the AI dimension refers to machine-aided tools and means to process information and to ensure sound decision-making. The EI implies emotionally intelligent actions and interactions with the consideration towards one’s own self as well as to others around. The study is qualitative in nature and assesses the different paradigms of intelligence SI, EI and AI by exploring how these three may coalesce to achieve the individual and collective organizational goals by improving workplace dynamics to ultimately secure success and serenity. The tripartite framework posited in the study attempts to achieve synergies within and outside the organization to accomplish a work environment wherein both, the workplace and its members are ethical, empathetic, expeditious, exuberant, and efficient.
