The Effect of Transformational Leadership on Job Performance with Work Engagement and Job Satisfaction as Mediation Variable

Abstract

This research was conducted to examine the effect of transformational leadership on job performance by employing work engagement and job satisfaction as mediating variables. The research utilized a quantitative approach through the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method using SmartPLS 3.0 software. The sample consisted of 166 respondents. The results of the direct effect analysis revealed that transformational leadership has a significant influence on job performance, work engagement, and job satisfaction. Furthermore, both work engagement and job satisfaction were found to significantly affect job performance. The analysis of indirect effects indicated that work engagement and job satisfaction successfully mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and job performance
