Abstract
This study aims to examine the role of flexible leadership as a moderator of job demand variables in predicting work engagement for employees at PT X Kab. Bogor. Job demands are referring to physical, psychological, social, or organizational aspects of a job that require continuous physical or psychological effort or ability and therefore are associated with certain physical and / or psychological costs. Work engagement is a positive, satisfying, motivational state of work-related welfare. Flexible leadership is the ability of a leader to adapt leadership styles and methods in responding to different or changing contextual demands by facilitating group performance. This research was carried out in medical representative participants by filling out an online questionnaire from google form (N = 46) with a measurement of job demands from Rothmann with the name JD-R Scale, a measure of work engagement from Bakker using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), and measuring instrument from Kaiser with the name flexible leadership Leadership Versatility Index (LVI). The results of modeling the relationship using SPSS Version 25 show that job demands (work overload) have a strong relationship with work engagement when moderated by high flexible leadership. This finding shows that the function of flexible leadership behavior functions as a moderator at the medical representative at PT. X Regional Bogor.
