The Effect of Transformational Leadership and Employee Engagement on Employe Performance Mediated by Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) on ASN Employees at the Gunungkidul Regional Secretariat Office

Abstract : The Regional Secretariat is a key element in fostering a more professional and change-adaptive bureaucracy. According to the 2024 Performance Report of the Gunungkidul Regency Regional Secretariat, several strategic indicators have not yet been fully achieved. This reflects a performance gap between expectations and actual ASN performance. This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership and employee engagement on employee performance mediated by organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in ASN employees at the Gunungkidul Regional Secretariat Office. This study used a sample of 112 civil servants at the Gunungkidul Regional Secretariat office. The research method employed descriptive analysis to observe the characteristics of respondents and the research variables. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The study found that transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) did not significantly influence employee performance, while employee engagement significantly influenced employee performance. Furthermore, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and employee engagement on employee performance.
