Abstract

This study examines the effect of transformational leadership and organizational culture on employee performance in teachers of formal boarding schools in Bangkalan, Madura through the mediation of employee engagement. This research was conducted at three boarding schools in Bangkalan, Madura. This research uses saturated sampling. Primary data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 89 teaching staff. Data analysis used the Least Square partial structural equation model (SEM-PLS) with the Smart-PLS 3.0 application. The results showed that transformational leadership and organizational culture have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. This study also found that employee engagement is able to partially mediate the effect of transformational leadership on employee performance. Employee engagement also acts as a partial mediation on the effect of organizational culture on employee performance. Based on these findings, it is necessary to pay attention and optimize the practice of transformational leadership style and organizational culture continuously to be able to improve employee performance.
