الملخص

The National Civil Service Agency also known as Badan Kepegawaian Negara (BKN) is a public sector organization responsible for managing Indonesia’s civil service (ASN). In addition, BKN is currently facing the challenge of implementing Bureaucratic Reform as part of the planned changes to become a world-class bureaucracy. In order to achieve the objectives and face the challenges mentioned above, it is necessary to have ASN that performs optimally. There are several aspects in this study that influence employee performance, including: transformational leadership, employee engagement, readiness for change, and affective commitment to change. This study aims to analyze the effect of transformational leadership on employee performance with readiness for change, affective commitment to change, and employee engagement as mediator variables in the BKN Environment. A quantitative research approach was deployed, with the study population consisting of ASN employees at BKN. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, involving a total of 258 respondents. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS version 4 with the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results of this study indicate that transformational leadership directly has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. While readiness for change successfully mediates partially the relationship between transformational leadership and employee performance positively and significantly. However, on the other hand, affective commitment to change and employee do not act as significant mediators in the relationship between transformational leadership and employee performance.
