Introduction
The present study investigated the effect of transformational leadership on work engagement with the mediating role of structural empowerment.
Materials and Methods
The study, in terms of purpose, is practical, and in terms of data collection methods is a survey from a group of descriptive researchers. The statistical population is staff employed as deputies for management development and resources of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance 200 persons, the number of the sample is 80 persons. The tool of data collection is the questionnaire on transformational leadership provided by Rafferty & Griffin (2004), and questionnaire on structural empowerment provided by Jáimez Román & Bretones (2013), and the questionnaire on work engagement provided by Schaufeli et al. (2006). Data analysis was performed using the Structural Equation Modeling approach (SEM) with the partial least squares method through Smart-PLS3 software.
 
 
Discussion and Results
The findings of this study showed that the proposed research model is validated, and based on it, transformational leadership has led to structural empowerment, which impacts work engagement. Also, the structural empowerment variable is an intermediary in the relationship between transformational leadership and work engagement.
Conclusions
These findings can help managers use the interaction between these constructs to develop training programs that increase work engagement. On the other hand, the effect of improving transformational leadership abilities among leaders not only increases employee engagement but also increases their performance, which is considered a bonus for the organization.
