The object of the work was to examine the case of linking emotional intelligence to nurses' performance. The research was quantitative and was done on a sample of 98 nurses in a maternity hospital in Athens. On average, the sample had a positive and consistent response to the dimension of emotional intelligence of the nursing staff, while the same was true with the dimension of the evaluation of the performance of the nursing staff which was positive. The two dimensions had a statistically significant and low positive relationship with each other, a finding that means that when emotional intelligence increases, performance appraisal increases and vice versa, to a low degree determined by the size of their correlation index (rho = 0 , 26). In any case, it is important that the management of a health unit be able to limit the emotional charge of nurses. In this way the working efficiency of the nurses can be maximized.
