Physical, emotional, and psychological problems are among the core issues experienced by adolescents transitioning into adulthood and graduate students, particularly when pursuing higher education. As such, the stressors can adversely impact the higher education students’ quality of life (QoL) and life satisfaction, especially if they lack self-leadership. Hence, the purpose of this explanatory sequential mixed-method study was to determine the effect of self-leadership on QoL and life satisfaction, moderating for the impact of emotional and spiritual intelligence. The bottom-up spillover theoretical model guided this study. In the first phase, quantitative data on self-leadership, QoL, and life satisfaction were collected from 396 higher education students in Brunei. The qualitative data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. The structural equation model (SEM) was also developed on the identified and latent variables. In the second phase, qualitative data were collected from 32 students using a semi-structured interview protocol. NVivo was used to support the content analysis, helping explore the students’ perception of the influence of spiritual and emotional intelligence on life satisfaction, QoL, and self-leadership. The quantitative findings were that self-leadership significantly influences the students’ QoL and life satisfaction. Six themes, self-awareness, self-regulation, self-acceptance, help-seeking, holistic approaches, and achieving control, were retrieved in the second phase. The implications and recommendations were also provided.
