This study explored the nature of the relationship between emotional intelligence, visionary leadership, and organizational citizenship behavior in continuing higher education. Emotional intelligence was measured using the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) (Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso, 2002). Visionary leadership was measured with The Leadership Profile (TLP) (Sashkin & Rosenbach, 1996). Organizational citizenship behavior was measured by Organizational Citizenship Behavior (Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Moorman, & Fetter, 1990). A nonexperimental, quantitative research design was used to answer eight research questions. Results of paired-samples t tests showed that leaders' self-ratings of visionary leadership differed from observers' ratings, with statistically significant differences on 3 of 10 TLP scales. Pearson r correlation and linear regression results surprisingly showed a negligible relationship between emotional intelligence and visionary leadership. Suggestions are offered as to why leaders' emotional intelligence may not have been more predictive of leaders' visionary leadership. Pearson r correlation and linear regression results demonstrated a moderate relationship between visionary leadership and organizational citizenship behavior as overall TLP accounted for 25% of the variance in overall organizational citizenship behavior (R 2 = .25, p

as a multidirectional process between leader and follower rather than a
unidirectional relationship from leader to follower. Fourth, transformational
