Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of young talent commitment in maintaining organizational sustainability amid increasingly competitive work dynamics, as well as inconsistencies in previous findings regarding the role of innovative leadership and perceived organizational support. This study aims to analyze the effect of innovative leadership and perceived organizational support on young talent commitment, with work meaningfulness as a mediating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach using simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire from 131 respondents. The data were analyzed using SEM-PLS. The results show that innovative leadership has a positive and significant effect on young talent commitment and work meaningfulness. Perceived organizational support significantly affects work meaningfulness but does not have a direct effect on young talent commitment. Work meaningfulness is proven to have a significant effect on commitment and mediates the influence of innovative leadership and perceived organizational support on young talent commitment. These findings indicate that enhancing young talent commitment is more effectively achieved by creating meaningful work experiences through innovative leadership.
