Given the fact that individuals are the most important units in organizational change, a successful implementation requires employees' acceptance and support. Hence, employees ¿ positive attitudes and their Work Engagement are considered to be fundamental requirements. Nevertheless, there is limited understanding of the multitudinous factors associated with employees ¿ decision to support organizational change. Basically, organizational change is stressful as it requires the readiness to embrace change and the readjustment of employees' routine tasks. In this regard, leadership is considered to be one of the most important variables affecting the attitudinal dimension of organizational processes.

These specifications show that this leadership style is highly relevant to Employee Work Engagement.
