Abstract

This study investigates how psychological safety and transformational leadership influence empowering leadership and, in turn, how empowering leadership fosters job satisfaction to reduce employee disengagement and promote innovative work behavior. Drawing on self-determination theory and social exchange theory, this research develops an integrated model in which job satisfaction and empowering leadership serve as key mediators. Furthermore, the study examines the moderating role of regional context, urban versus regional areas in Indonesia, in shaping the relationship between job satisfaction and disengagement. Data were collected from 500 employees across various industries using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that both psychological safety and transformational leadership significantly enhance empowering leadership, which subsequently boosts job satisfaction. In turn, job satisfaction reduces disengagement and indirectly promotes innovative work behavior. Importantly, the negative effect of job satisfaction on disengagement is significantly weaker in urban areas than in regional areas. This study contributes to leadership and organizational behavior literature by highlighting the contextual importance of region in disengagement dynamics. It offers practical insights for managers seeking to cultivate innovation through empowerment and regional sensitivity.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines how agile leadership and digital transformation influence employee performance, with work engagement as a mediating variable. Novelty – The research develops an integrated model linking leadership agility, digital transformation, and engagement in small service enterprises, extending prior studies that focus on large corporations or isolate these constructs. Method – Data were collected from 42 employees of Café Grind & Full in Makassar using a saturated sampling approach. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied for analysis. Findings – Agile leadership significantly strengthens digital transformation and engagement, while digital transformation improves both engagement and performance. Work engagement emerged as the strongest predictor and mediating mechanism. Theoretical and Practical Implications – Theoretically, the study advances understanding of engagement as a psychological bridge connecting leadership and technology to performance. Practically, it highlights the importance for managers to cultivate agile leadership, adopt user-friendly digital systems, and reinforce engagement strategies to optimize outcomes in small service firms.
