The occurrence of changes in the leadership system resulted in leaders among the government experiencing problems in carrying out their duties and responsibilities within the organization. In short, the problems that often arise in the government bureaucracy, namely the recruitment system and promotion of positions in government bureaucratic institutions are not confined by competent human sources. This is because the system applied only involves an element of subjectivity in the assessment. For this reason, leadership competencies must be possessed by a leader. This competence is related to how a leader can manage emotions properly and appropriately (emotional competence), especially in building interactions with his subordinates. This study aims to propose a conceptual framework of predictable leadership competence with emotional competence. Besides, the researcher also wants to intend to see the effect of demographic variables as a moderator of the relationship between emotional competence and leadership competence. Data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to 300 leaders who work as heads of fields, heads of departments, and heads of offices within the Makassar City Government. The data analysis applied was using inferential analysis in testing the research hypothesis. The results of this study indicate that leadership competence can be predicted by emotional competence by a leader. Besides, the level of education and tenure of a leader has an effect that moderates the effect of emotional competence on leadership competence. Then, the aspects of emotional competence along with education level and years of service also correlated with leadership competence. The findings of this study can provide information for every leader in the government bureaucracy in carrying out their duties to encourage the achievement of organizational goals for success by bringing innovation in the leadership competency model that is built.
