Industrial Management The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between transformational and transactional leadership styles on employee engagement at lntel Malaysia. This study examines the predictive ability to gauge the ability of leadership styles to positively predict aspects of employee engagement.

The population for this study was the exempt level of the FES Organization at lntel Penang. A hardcopy questionnaire was distributed to the sample of employees in various FES Organizations after the face validity was conducted. The analysis found that both transformational and transactional leadership positively portrayed employee engagement, where transactional show more effect on employee engagement as compared to transformational leadership.
