The impact of transformational leadership on work engagement: The mediating role of job crafting

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of transformational leadership on work engagement and the mediating effect of job crafting in the relationship between transformational leadership and work engagement among Saudi employees working in the private sector. An online structured questionnaire is used to gather data from 337 Saudi employees working in the private sector. The study findings reveal that transformational leadership is significantly related to work engagement. Job crafting significantly mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and work engagement. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
