N2  - This study aimed to investigate how academic leaders’ decision-making styles and emotional intelligence (EI) relate to one another. University Academic deans, Head of departments, professors, associate professors and assistant professors make up the study’s sample. Academic administrators of University in India were selected for data collection. Data was collected using questionnaires, among respondents to elicit their responses on the research problem. However, the researcher was successful to elicit responses from 497 employees. And only 490 were found useful for data analysis. The data was analysed through SPSS version 23. Tools such as mean scores; standard deviation, correlation, t-test, f-test, etc. were used to draw meaningful conclusions from the data. The result indicated that EI has significant impact of the decision-making style of academic leaders. Moreover, present research findings conclude that people having higher level of EI follow intuitive decision making and people with lower level of EI follow rational decision-making style. Emotional self-control is found out to be the major antecedent of EI. Additionally, neither a gender-based nor a job experience-based difference in the respondents’ EI quotients or decision-making styles was discovered
