The study aimed to identify whether a correlation existed among academic nurse administrators emotional intelligence, leadership styles, and conflict management styles. There has been extensive research on emotional intelligence and leadership style in business. However, little research has been conducted about academic nurse leaders. This quantitative, nonexperimental, correlational design utilized convenience sampling. One hundred and twenty-two academic nurse administrators at colleges and universities throughout the United States completed an online survey, made up of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue-SF), the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5x Short), and the Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory-II (ROCI-II). Discriminant analysis was used to analyze the correlation among the four independent variables of emotional intelligence and the three independent variables of leadership styles to the five dependent variables of conflict management. Stepwise discriminant analysis isolated each conflict management style dependent variable to determine if a correlation existed among the individual independent variables of emotional intelligence and leadership styles. The results showed a significant correlation among the emotional intelligence variables of emotionality and sociability to leadership and conflict management styles. There was a correlation among the conflict management variables and leadership styles. Multiple leadership constructs correlated to each of the three conflict management styles. The results supported the research that leadership and conflict management styles are situational. The findings supported a correlation among emotional intelligence, leadership styles, and conflict management. However, the correlations are neither definitive nor clear-cut. Therefore, there are opportunities for additional research. The results also supported the situational outcomes of leadership and conflict management’s superior, subordinate, and peer relationships.
