FROM TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP TO EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT, THE SKILL THAT INSPIRES TEAM

In a world that is shifting both in terms of global environment of work and workforce diversity, employee engagement has emerged as a powerful organisational concept. In recent years, the study examines how the behavior of transformational leaders in turn impacts employee work management at macro level i.eorganisational related factors, personal related factors, team related factors and job-related factors. Both leadership and employee engagement are most researched subjects in human resource management.However,linking transformation leadership to employee engagement has not been extensively explored as engaged employees work vigorously, remain dedicated and mentally absorbed by work. But even though much is known about the kind of job and work environment that stimulate employee engagement, yet levels of disengagement remain high in many organisations.The finding suggests that organisational investing in leadership development programmes in return higher retention and performance outcomes.
