ABSTRACT

In the current era of globalization, employees face various kinds of challenges. These challenges come from various aspects, such as advances in technology and science. So, they are required to continue to follow existing developments. This condition means that a leader in an organization must be able to increase employee engagement towards these employees. Therefore, a leader must also demonstrate a transformational leadership style so that employees can understand the organization’s goals. This research analyzes the influence of transformational leadership, reward effectiveness, organizational trust, and job satisfaction on employee engagement at the Madrasah West Java province. A quantitative approach is used as a research method. The population in this study was 555 Madrasah teachers as a sample. This research concludes that the effectiveness of rewards is the variable that has the greatest influence on increasing employee engagement. This shows that employees in government agencies still need rewards both in tangible and intangible forms.
