On the other hand, emotional intelligence enhances communication so that nurses can manage conflict more successfully. This quantitative research utilized the descriptive correlational research design to assess the interrelationship among profile, emotional quotient, and leadership behaviors of nurse managers of a government hospital in Cebu Province for the first quarter of 2022. Findings of the study revealed that most of the respondents were aged 31 to 40 years old and majority of the respondents were females. Most of the respondents were single and majority of them have a bachelor’s degree. Most of the respondents were assigned in the OB-Gyne Ward and most of them served as a nurse manager for 4 to 7 years already. Lastly, most of them have 201 to 250 hours of related seminars and trainings attended. The emotional quotient of the respondents was good.
