However, the levels of employee engagement can be significantly enhanced. Simultaneously, the increasing prevalence of virtual and hybrid work introduces a work context worth investigating so that leaders know how to respond to achieve the best outcomes for all stakeholders in each work context. This research aimed to understand how leader behaviours influence employee engagement in each work context. The extant literature shows that the meaningfulness of work is most influential on employee engagement, whilst safety and availability are other crucial antecedents. This quantitative research retained and examined data from 208 out of 232 responses across virtual, hybrid, and regular work contexts. A combination of stepwise multiple linear regressions and moderation analyses were conducted using IBM SPSS software to determine relationships between leadership behaviours, employee engagement, and the extent of virtual work. As a meta-category, only relations-oriented behaviours were significantly positively correlated to employee engagement in virtual, hybrid, and regular work environments. ‘Empowering' was the specific behaviour that showed consistent positive and significant correlations to employee engagement across virtual, hybrid, and regular work contexts. pagibs2024 2024-06-12T07:52:43Z 2024-06-12T07:52:43Z 2024-09-11 2024-09-11 Mini Dissertation * A2024 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/96425 en © 2023 University of Pretoria.
