This study aims to analyze and prove the role of Transformational Leadership in improving Employee Performance through Career Development and Organizational Communication among non-teaching staff (tenaga kependidikan) at Ibnu Sina University, Batam. The population of this study consisted of all non-teaching staff at Ibnu Sina University Batam, with a total sampling technique resulting in 111 respondents. Data collection was conducted through online questionnaires. Data analysis employed the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach using SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results indicate that Transformational Leadership has a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance. Furthermore, Transformational Leadership is proven to have a significant effect on Career Development and Organizational Communication. Mediation test results show that Career Development and Organizational Communication significantly mediate the relationship between Transformational Leadership and Employee Performance. Among the two mediating variables, Organizational Communication has a more dominant mediating influence in boosting employee performance. The managerial implications of this study emphasize the importance for university leaders to continue strengthening transformational leadership styles and providing certainty in career paths to ensure that staff productivity and responsibility remain at the highest level.
