ABSTRACT

Transformational leadership is needed due to rapid changes in the health care system. Emotional intelligence is important for head nurses to show effective leadership. The purposes of this descriptive correlational study were to explore the level of emotional intelligence and transformational leadership, and to assess the relationship between emotional intelligence and transformational leadership of head nurses in Kunming, Yunnan province, The People’s Republic of China.

Research instruments included the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale and the Leadership Practices Inventory. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were .86 and .93, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient.
