Bahasa InggrisAbstrak
Penelitian ini secara sistematis meninjau literatur empiris mengenai peran kepemimpinan dalam memperkuat work engagement pada pegawai di organisasi publik. Orisinalitas penelitian ini terletak pada penempatan kepemimpinan bukan hanya sebagai anteseden engagement, tetapi juga sebagai sumber daya pekerjaan, sosial, dan moral yang multidimensional dalam institusi publik yang bersifat birokratis dan berorientasi pada pelayanan. Dengan menggunakan systematic literature review berbasis PRISMA, artikel dicari melalui OpenAlex, SAGE Journals, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, dan Emerald untuk periode 2020–2026. Dari 316 artikel yang teridentifikasi, 21 studi empiris memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan disintesis secara tematik. Hasil tinjauan menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan transformasional merupakan bentuk kepemimpinan yang paling sering dikaji, diikuti oleh kepemimpinan transaksional, autentik, etis, melayani, partisipatif, interpersonal, berorientasi kesehatan, mindful, berbasis karakter, serta leader-member exchange. Kepemimpinan memperkuat engagement melalui psychological capital, pemenuhan kontrak psikologis, makna kerja, kepuasan kerja, keadilan organisasi, motivasi pelayanan publik, leader-member exchange, lingkungan kerja, dan kesejahteraan. Temuan ini mengimplikasikan bahwa organisasi publik perlu mengembangkan pemimpin yang mampu menerjemahkan target birokratis menjadi pekerjaan yang bermakna, memberikan umpan balik yang adil, mendukung partisipasi pegawai, dan melindungi kesejahteraan pegawai. Penelitian selanjutnya perlu menggunakan lebih banyak desain longitudinal, kualitatif, dan mixed-method untuk menjelaskan mekanisme kausal dalam berbagai konteks sektor publik.
