Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Transactional Leadership performance using KPMG Vietnam as a case study to evaluate the most suitable model for their organisational leadership and the extent EI could influence the success of transactional leadership within the company. Primary research in the forms of interviews for qualitative (main) and questionnaires for quantitative (ancillary) analysis coupled with secondary research (prior research) is used in this study. Thematic themes are extracted from the qualitative finding and supported by the quantitative survey results analysed with SPSS. Results reveal KPMG Vietnam uses a combined model between The Goleman model (1998)  and The Bar – On model (1997).
