The total sample size was 158 registered nurses. Results: This study revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between selfleadership and emotional intelligence. Nurses with bachelor degree or higher tended to practice self-leadership more than others. Conclusion and recommendation: self-leadership was related to emotional intelligence by which both used self-regulation and shared several commonalities regarding different work outcomes.
