dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence and leadership styles of managers in small and medium enterprises at Dog Forces Security Services (DFSS), Namibia. The study used a quantitative correlation research design and a case study strategy. The results show a positive correlation between emotional intelligence and transformational (SD=2.06), transactional (SD=1.59), and laissez-faire leadership styles (SD=0.49). Further confirmation was done using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) by creating a path analysis, and to confirm the hypotheses where a comparative fix index of .748 between emotional intelligence and transformational, .770 between emotional intelligence and transactional, .183 between emotional intelligence and laissez-faire was found resulting in the acceptance of all hypotheses. The study recommended that DFSS management should strengthen leadership initiatives that promote emotional intelligence and leadership styles in order to achieve their goals and intentions
