Background: Since the emergence of emotional intelligence, many definitions have evolved emphasizing emotional intelligence as emotional management. Emotional intelligence has been known to influence leadership styles and the effectiveness of nurse managers. Understanding the dynamism of emotions and their application among nurses in the healthcare fraternity of Ghana is crucial in an emotionally volatile working environment, making the nursing atmosphere unpleasant and resistant to change. As such being emotionally intelligent as a nurse determines one's capacity to address challenging circumstances taking into consideration leadership styles. We aimed to determine nurse managers' level of emotional intelligence and its influence on leadership styles in Ghana.Methods: This quantitative survey employed a descriptive cross-sectional design, and applying a purposive sampling technique, 388 nurse managers were enlisted across health facilities in Ghana and administered a structured questionnaire to solicit data from respondents. Data were entered into Microsoft excel and exported into IBM SPSS version 26. Descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted and findings were displayed using tables and graphs. The correlation between nurse managers' emotional intelligence and leadership styles was examined using Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r) at a 95% confidence interval and the two-tailed. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Nurse Manager's level of emotional intelligence was high (76.5%) which significantly and positively correlated with their leadership styles (Autocratic style (388), r=0.384, p<0.05), (Laissez-faire style (388), r=0.400, p<0.05) and (Democratic style (388), r=0.218, p<0.05). Conclusion and recommendations:Nurse Managers in Ghana demonstrated a high level of emotional intelligence at the workplace which influenced their ability to recognise their emotions and that of others, making them effective at addressing personal and work-related challenges. The high level of emotional intelligence influenced their leadership styles in managing subordinates, making them effective at effecting change. Developing policies to incorporate emotional intelligence into nursing educational programs would boost the emotional intelligence level of nurses. Additionally, a qualitative enquiry is recommended to explore the mechanisms high-level emotional intelligence nurse managers adopt to recognise and thrive in a challenging situation to deliver quality services.

“…First, our study adds to previous researches conducted in other industries that suggest emotional intelligence is a critical factor in employees’ career success. Numerous researchers found that people with high emotional intelligence were devoted to their career aspirations, had greater career decisions and self‐efficacy, were highly adaptive to career outcomes, and had higher job competency and employability, which in turn contributed to high career success (Hamzah et al., 2021; Parmentier et al., 2019; Priyadarshini, 2022; Sharma & Tiwari, 2022b; Tagiya et al., 2020; Vashisht et al., 2021). Hence, these findings can be applied to other industries facing similar work environment conditions.…”

Achieving success in one's career has numerous positive consequences for individuals as well as for organizations. This study examines the influence of emotional intelligence measures on career success. Also, using the broaden and build theory, we propose employee resilience as an underlying mechanism connecting emotional intelligence measures and career success. Data were collected from employees working in different IT organizations in India's northern region. Confirmatory factor analysis followed by path analysis using the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method in AMOS was performed. Results found that all the emotional intelligence measures directly affect career success and employee resilience. For instance, the adaptability dimension had the most significant direct impact on career success, whereas the interpersonal dimension emerged as the leading predictor of resilience among all five emotional intelligence dimensions. In addition, employee resilience was identified as a partial mediator between all emotional intelligence measures and career success. The present study offers some insightful theoretical and practical implications.

“…For example, the lack of assertiveness and passivity are two common effects of low self-esteem that cause employees to accept too many tasks or tasks that they cannot manage, which increases stress ( 14 ). In this sense, it has been shown that improving self-esteem can transform threatening changes into challenges ( 15 ). Therefore, based on the results found, and in view of the current need to train in personal competencies and skills necessary for proper professional performance ( 1 , 10 ) and promotion of effective healthcare leaders ( 13 ), the relationship between global self-esteem and stress management, adaptability and mood factors of emotional intelligence is underlined.…”

IntroductionEven though emotional intelligence and self-esteem are truly important variables in healthcare, the fact is that there are few studies on these constructs in Spanish physicians. The objective was to analyze the relationship between self-esteem and emotional intelligence in Spanish physicians, and their relationship with sociodemographic and employment variables.MethodsThe study included a sample of 180 physicians with a mean age of 34.61, 76.7% of whom were women. The physician completed the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, the Brief Emotional Intelligence Inventory for Senior Citizens and a questionnaire on sociodemographic and work characteristics through a CAWI (Computer Assisted Web Interviewing).ResultsThe results showed that the interpersonal factor of emotional intelligence diminished with age and number of children. Furthermore, women scored significantly higher in interpersonal emotional intelligence and men in adaptability. Physicians with stable contracts (46.1%) scored higher in all the emotional intelligence variables, with almost a small effect size. In the relationship between self-esteem and emotional intelligence, it was found that global self-esteem of physicians was positively related to the Stress Management, Adaptability and Mood dimensions. Physicians with high self-esteem (72.8%) showed better Stress Management and Mood than those with low self-esteem (6.1%), while in the Adaptability factor, physicians with high global self-esteem scored higher than those with medium levels (21.1%).ConclusionThe need for a stable employment strategy was demonstrated, since this has repercussions on personal competencies of physicians as well as training in developing those consequences, since they improve physicians' quality of care and leadership, especially women with temporary contracts or with medium or low self-esteem.
