N2  - ABSTRACT
Organizations constantly seek methods to enhance creativity and innovation in today's 
highly competitive business world. Transformational leadership has been deemed to 
be an effective leadership style capable of improving employee creative and innovative 
ability which is often a result of a high level of employee motivation and job 
satisfaction. This study investigates the relationship between transformational
leadership style, employees’ motivation, and job satisfaction, with emotional 
intelligence playing a moderating role in this relationship. A quantitative research 
method was used, and Primary data was collected using an online survey. The target 
population was 213 employees working in a printing and Publishing firm in Nigeria.
157 employees partook in this survey, giving us a response rate of 73.7%. After 
exporting data from Excel and analyzing using SPSS, the result showed that there is a 
significant relationship between transformational leadership and employee motivation 
and job satisfaction, and emotional intelligence does not moderate this relationship. 
Although emotional intelligence has a moderately positive impact on job satisfaction 
with a beta weight (β) of .332*** which is statistically significant, the interaction term 
of transformational leadership style with emotional intelligence has a very weak 
negative impact on job satisfaction that is not significant statistically (β=-0.020, t=-
.330, p= 0.742< .05). 
The sample size was small and restricted to a geographical location, the study also 
collected data from four branches of the same organization (FJWASA), Future 
researchers might consider conducting this research across different demographic 
regions and ethnic groups using different leadership styles. Researchers should also 
consider other possible moderating factors like the employees’ job position, job 
autonomy, and income level which may influence their level of motivation and job 
satisfaction.
