ABSTRACT
The management of health facilities is complex and challenging. It´s needed a harmonization between management and leadership, results and care provided. Leadership effectiveness is increasingly associated with emotional skills, capable of positively influencing the organizational culture, climate and performance of teams.  Professional Satisfaction (PS) emerges as a crucial indicator of the organizational environment that can impact an organization's results. This research explored the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and PS  and whether the EI and PS vary according to their sociodemographic and professional characteristics in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologists (DTT) in the Autonomous Region of Madeira (ARM). Using questionnaires, we sought to ascertain whether there is a correlation between EI and PS. Corroborating other data founded in the literature, it was not possible to establish a statistically positive correlation between these two variables. This study contributed to a better understanding of EI and PS in the DTT in the ARM, highlighting the importance of research in this region and group of health professionals.
