Discussion and ResultsThe findings of this study showed that the proposed research model is validated, and based on it, transformational leadership has led to structural empowerment, which impacts work engagement. Also, the structural empowerment variable is an intermediary in the relationship between transformational leadership and work engagement.ConclusionsThese findings can help managers use the interaction between these constructs to develop training programs that increase work engagement. On the other hand, the effect of improving transformational leadership abilities among leaders not only increases employee engagement but also increases their performance, which is considered a bonus for the organization. |
