| Abstract: | Background: Strong leadership is imperative in the healthcare, especially among the nurse managers, who are responsible for sustaining the workplace harmony, employee well-being, and quality patient care. The different leadership approaches, authentic leadership is a notable for its focus on the openness, ethical choices, and healthy interpersonal relationships. Yet issues arises like turnover, emotional exhaustion, and job dissatisfaction underscore the importance of the leadership strategies that foster the workplace dynamics and employee well-being. Emotional intelligence, which encompasses self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills, is an essential determinant of leadership effectiveness, allowing nurse managers to communicate, manage conflicts, and motivate their staff. Notwithstanding studies on leadership in healthcare, there is still a need to understand how emotional intelligence acts as a mediator between authentic leadership and job satisfaction. The research seeks to bridge this knowledge gap by exploring how emotional intelligence contributes to the effectiveness of leadership in nurse managers at Level 2 hospitals and translating findings that can be used in leadership development training, emotional intelligence building, and organizational support for enhancing nurse retention and health care outcomes. Result: The results show that the nurse managers have a high emotional intelligence, especially in selfawareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills, which are important for the effective leadership and a positive work environment. Their stress management, conflict resolution, and teamwork development emphasize the role of the emotional intelligence in sustaining the job satisfaction and organizational success of the team. Enhancing emotional intelligence through leadership training and development programs is vital for improving nurse retention, staff well-being, and overall quality of healthcare. Conclusion: The study highlights the crucial role of emotional intelligence in authentic leadership, showing that nurse managers with strong self-awareness, selfregulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills are more effective in fostering a positive work environment and job satisfaction. These findings emphasize the need for leadership training programs that enhance emotional intelligence, ensuring better team dynamics, improved nurse retention, and higher healthcare quality.
