Abstract: Organisations face many challenges that should be met to accomplish a competitive advantage. Hence, this study's fundamental purpose is to test the leadership styles' effect (i.e., transactional and transformational) on innovative work behaviour by examining the work engagement's role in the stone milling companies located in Central Java - Indonesia. The questionnaire targeting 200 respondents resulted in 107 appropriate questionnaires with a response rate of 53.5%. To test the proposed research hypothesis, a structural equation model based on SmartPLS 3.0 was utilised. The results showed that transactional and transformational leadership positively and significantly affected innovative work behaviour and work engagement. In addition, this finding also reinforces the argument offered that work engagement plays as a mediator in the association between transactional and transformational leadership on innovative work behaviour.
