Abstract

The Indonesian Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) has implemented a transformation framework within the healthcare sector since 2022, aiming for completion by 2024. Hospitals are integral to this transformation, making employee work engagement a critical factor. Preliminary findings indicate significant challenges related to work engagement among certain employees at Rajawali Citra General Hospital. It has been established that positive leadership styles, particularly transformational leadership, coupled with psychological ownership among employees, can enhance work engagement and improve performance in daily responsibilities. This quantitative study objects to investigate the influence of transformational leadership on work engagement, with psychological ownership serving as a mediating variable. Data were collected through purposive sampling, targeting employees with a minimum tenure of one year who have engaged with the hospital director. An online questionnaire was administered to 129 eligible respondents. Hypothesis testing was conducted utilizing SmartPLS version 3.0 for statistical analysis. The findings reveal that transformational leadership exerts a significant influence on employee work engagement at Rajawali Citra General Hospital, both directly and indirectly, with psychological ownership partially mediating this relationship.
