Abstract
This study investigates the moderating function of emotional intelligence (EI) in the link between transformational leadership (TL) and leader philubbing (LP). The study was carried out to determine if emotional intelligence
mitigates the detrimental effects of leader philubbing on transformational leadership, using a sample of 471 workers from a variety of sectors. The results demonstrate that frequent digital distractions impair a leader’s capacity to motivate and inspire followers, confirming the negative correlation between LP and TL. But this association is strongly moderated by emotional intelligence, which lessens the negative consequences of leader philubbing on transformational leadership.
