Background and Objective: The link linking emotional intelligence to the performance of healthcare teams is based on the improvement of elements of structural empowerment or accountability. The aim of the study was to measure the structural empowerment (SE) of nurses and the emotional intelligence (EI) of their managers in a Moroccan tertiary hospital and examine the link between the variables under study. Methods: Descriptive and correlational study, carried out between June and July 2019, with 118 nurses and 39 hospital managers, including 19 heads of clinical departments and 20 head nurses, using the Conditions for work effectiveness questionnaire-II (CWEQ II survey) and the self-scale reported emotional intelligence (SSREI). Results: The SE of nurses was moderate (11,5 ±3.2). The EI of medical managers was found to be highest (137.1±16.5) compared to that of nursing managers (121±29). A positive correlation was established between these variables among medical managers (r = 0.310; p <0.01). Conclusions: The study opens up research perspectives on the development of SE and EI in hospitals.
