This study suggests that the organizations should recruit managers with high emotional intelligence level to improve performance and provide training to improve the emotional intelligence level of employees. The most substantial relationship of emotional intelligence was discovered with transformational leadership and the weakest with transactional leadership. The results indicated that all the three leadership styles: transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and laissez-faire leadership, are affected by emotional intelligence. Findings revealed that there exists a relationship between emotional intelligence and leadership. The collected data was analyzed using SmartPLS 2.0 and SPSS 23. The sample was taken from IT professionals of the NCR region of India, and standardized instruments used for data collection include "The assessing emotions scale" and "Multifactor leadership questionnaire".

The present research aims to study the relationship between emotional intelligence and leadership styles-transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and laissez-faire leadership.
