Added to this, Pearson correlation analysis result shows that there is moderate positive correlation between transformational leadership style & employee engagement was indicated with r = .4311**, p = .008 < 0.01). Likewise, there is weak negative correlation between laissez-faire leadership style & employee engagement with r = -.246*, p = .015 < 0.05). The regression analysis shows that transformational leadership style have been shown a positive and significant effect on the employee engagement (β = 0.635, p=0.000). The qualitative result shows that employees’ should be part of the decision making process, employee should be supervised, new employees should be guided, the leader should clarify procedures. Factors such as working expectation, lack of giving recognition, poor working condition, low benefit packages, unhealthy relationship between leadership have affected employees’ engagement. As a result, they indicated loss of passion for doing job and think of leaving for better job.
