Amirul Mutaqin, Nurhidayati Nurhidayati

Abstract


A leader who can clearly communicate a vision, provide encouragement, and empower subordinates will be able to build a positive organizational culture. Therefore, transformational leadership can be a key factor in improving employee performance, including at the Nahdlatul Ulama Islamic Hospital (RSI) in Demak. This study uses a quantitative method with a survey-based research design. Yusuf (2017) explains that a quantitative approach is applied when the collected data can be measured or analyzed through statistical procedures. Based on the type of research problem, there are three types of research: explanatory, descriptive, and causal. This study is included in the explanatory type. According to Sekaran and Bougie (2017), explanatory research is the core of the scientific approach in research. Transformational Leadership has a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance with an original sample value of 0.360, a T statistic value of 2.078 and a P Value of 0.038. Work Life Balance has a positive and significant effect on Work Engagement with an original sample value of 0.183, a T statistic value of 2.055 and a P Value of 0.040.
