Abstract: This study examined the influence of leadership styles on employee engagement in organizations that practice remote work. Considering the transformation of the employment landscape brought about by technological advancements and the COVID-19 pandemic, this study examined the crucial role of leadership in fostering employee motivation and engagement in this flexible yet challenging work environment. Through a qualitative research approach using thematic analysis methods to analyze data collected from in-depth interviews with employees and managers, this study considered autonomous and transformational leadership approaches as potential models for addressing the challenges of productivity and communication management in the context of remote work, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of leadership and employee engagement in the digital era.
