Inam, Aneeq Jo, Ann Ho Sheikh, Adnan Ahmed Shafqat, Marium Najam, Usama Leadership and its connection with social sustainability are frequently prescribed for effective management. Integrating selfleadership among the employees is an emerging area to focus on empowering an organization. The principal objective of this study was to empirically investigate the impact of self-leadership on normative commitment and work performance through the mediating role of work engagement.

Data was collected from 318 employees who worked in the telecom sector in Pakistan and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) AMOS. The findings revealed that in the presence of self-leadership, employee’s work engagement, commitment to the organization, and overall work performance elevated significantly.
