“…Nevertheless, more empirical studies are required as some investigations found that EI is not always related to transformational leadership (Antonakis, Ashkanasy, & Dansborough, ; Genderen, ; Jayakody & Gamage, ). Ultimately, Kim and Kim () reviewed 20 empirical studies on the relationships between EI and Transformational Leadership and found 15 of the 20 studies demonstrated a positive correlation between EI and TL while five studies did not find a relationship.…”

Transformational leadership is one of the most dominant and debated leadership theories in the last three decades. The current article introduces the concept of prosocial transformational leadership and distinguishes it from charismatic‐transformational leadership and transactional leadership. A review of the literature is made examining the three leadership styles (transactional, charismatic‐transformational, and prosocial transformational), and relating them to some organizational constructs such as motivation, followership, communication, decision‐making style, job satisfaction, emotional intelligence, and organizational culture. As a result of the analysis, theoretical models presenting the relationships of the different leadership styles with the organizational constructs are built. The models show that, depending on the style of leadership, organizational culture is developed differently, and it seems that the prosocial transformational model can contribute to building more individual and collective capacity. Prosocial transformational leadership develops a new insight of transformational leadership and, at the same time, has a lot in common with other kinds of leadership (e.g., positive leadership, authentic leadership, or transcendent leadership) and can contribute to the integration of similar leadership theories.

“…Some studies have indicated that EI is significantly and positively related to TL (Lam & O'Higgins, 2013;Leban & Zulauf, 2004;Stanescui & Cicei, 2012;Tsai et al, 2011). Conversely, other studies have found no significant relationship between EI and TL (Genderen, 2012;Jayakody & Gamage, 2015). Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the relationship between EI (SEA, SEM, SOA, and REM) and TL (IDI, INM, INS, and INC) in an educational setting from the Arab world, specifically Jordan, using a sample selected from public schools in Amman.…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and transformational leadership (TL) style in public schools in Amman, Jordan. A sample consisting of 250 teachers was randomly selected to collect data on their managers' EI competencies, which are self-awareness (SEA), self-management (SEM), social awareness (SOA), and relationship management (REM), and their TL behaviours using a questionnaire developed based on the literature for the purpose of the current study. All the questionnaires were returned completed and valid for statistical analysis. Four hypotheses were put forward by the study, in which EI was postulated to exert an impact on four dimensions of TL style, namely idealized influence (IDI), inspirational motivation (INM), intellectual stimulation (INS), and individualized consideration (INC). The study deduced a significant and positive effect of EI on all the dimensions of TL. A key contribution of this study is the finding that leaders need not only competencies to transform their subordinates but also a sense of emotional intelligence. Following these results, the implications of the study were derived. One of the most important recommendations indicated that managers have to be trained to acquire emotional intelligence skills.

Transformational leadership style and emotional intelligence are aiding managers’ performance. This study explained the influence that transformational style and emotional intelligence flexibility subscale have on organizational performance during change initiatives. Emotional intelligence and leadership theory represent the theoretical lens and framework in the research study. Emotional intelligence flexibility subscale was assessed with the Emotional Quotient Inventory 2.0 (EQi 2.0), and transformational style was assessed with the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ 5X). The study included a population of 180 managers from a nonprofit company in Texas, USA. Data collected were analyzed using multiple linear regression and Pearson correlational model to assess if a relationship existed between managers’ emotional intelligence flexibility subscale and transformational style. The results showed a relationship between the emotional intelligence flexibility subscale and the transformational style. This research study may be beneficial to leaders in all industries undergoing organizational change to apply emotional intelligence flexibility subscale and transformational leadership style during the implementation of change initiatives.
