Finding: The results demonstrate that both Green Transformational Leadership and Career Development have a positive and significant direct impact on Employee Engagement. Furthermore, Organizational Commitment had the strongest direct effect on Employee Engagement () while significant indirect effects were identified for Green Transformational Leadership () and Career Development () through Organizational Commitment.
Conclusion: Fostering a highly engaged workforce requires more than standard managerial directives; it demands inspiring ecological leadership and transparent professional growth pathways. Cultivating a strong organizational commitment is vital to translating leadership initiatives and career support into maximum emotional and cognitive dedication in the workplace.
