Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 04

Abstract

This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of transformational leadership on employees' adaptive performance through the mediating roles of job satisfaction and work engagement. This research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population consists of all employees of the Regional Civil Service Agency (BKD) and the Regional Personnel and Human Resource Development Agency (BKPSDM) in Bengkulu Province. A total of 330 employees were selected using proportional random sampling techniques. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that transformational leadership has a significant positive effect on employees' adaptive performance. Job satisfaction and work engagement are proven to mediate the effect of transformational leadership on adaptive performance. Transformational leadership enhances employees’ job satisfaction and work engagement, which in turn improves their adaptive performance. This study offers strategic implications, suggesting that organizations need to foster transformational leadership through training, enhance job satisfaction and work engagement by creating a supportive work environment, and improve performance management systems to become more adaptive. Through these strategies, organizations can increase competitiveness, responsiveness, and innovation in the face of change.
