Abstract

According to the literature, employees who have vigor, dedication and absorp in their work are considered to have a high work engagement and are able to increase productivity. This research was conducted to see the role of transformational leadership and gender to work engagement. Participants are 208 IT sales that sell IT products. The instrument test uses item analysis test, and regression analysis uses multiple regression. The results show that only transformational leadership has a significant relationship with work engagement, that means the higher the role of transformational leaders, the higher level of work engagement is held. While the gender variable does not have a significant relationship with work engagement. Based on the results obtained, the role of transformational leadership is needed by IT sales as a factor that can increase work engagement.
