The basic aim of this research study is to analyze the relationship between composite or sub scales of EQi adopted from Bar-On model, and transformational leadership in Pakistani organizations. It aims to study the perceptions of subordinates about their supervisors or manager's emotional intelligence and transformational leadership skills. Based on convenience sampling design, 197 managers were contacted from different organizations in services sectors of Pakistan, including Banking, Telecom, and Education. Based on the participants, final data was collected by questionnaires. Emotional intelligence EQ, was measured with components adopted from 133 items of Emotional Quotient inventory (EQi). Similarly, for measuring transformational leadership MLQ (multifactor leadership questionnaire) was used. Results supported the model which proposed that the composite scales of emotional intelligence of supervisors were positively related to transformational leadership of supervisors. The data was collected through convenience sampling design, which may have had lowered the generalizability of the study. This study considers the need of using emotional intelligence skills, and transformational leadership in enhancing organizational outcomes. This study enhanced our understanding of the relationship of the emotional intelligence (sub scales of (EQi), emotional quotient inventory and transformational leadership of managers and supervisors in Pakistani services sector organizations.
