Abstract
Abstract: In the unpredictable futures, in which the war for talent is endemic, organizations are increasingly taking interest in how not only to retain their talent, but also to optimize their leadership and engagement practices to maximize organizational outcomes. Because of this fact, there is a growing nosiness in understanding the relationships between transformational leadership and engagement in public preparatory schools despite ample of research on the issues of leadership and engagement are hardly investigated in other case areas. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect data from 800 teachers and 267 teachers were made use of as a sample size. The study employed a non experimental quantitative design with correlation survey research type and stratified sampling technique through simple proportionate stratification. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analyzing the data. The survey result confirmed that both the level of transformational leadership and engagement of teachers in all public preparatory schools are low though teachers who are teaching in Fasiledes and Azezo preparatory Schools are good relatively. The three components of employees’ engagement were significantly correlated with the overall transformational leadership even if the extent of association of vigor was better and all the transformational leadership components can significantly influence job engagement and inspirational motivation was the highest predictor of teachers’ engagement. It is concluded that Schools located far away from Gondar town are living with very low mean value of transformational leadership and job engagement and the opposite is true and transformational leaders can contribute a lot for the physical dimensions of teachers’ engagement and engaged teachers are always obliged to a leader who inspires the employees. Keywords: North Gondar, Public Preparatory School Teachers, Transformational Leadership, Transformational Leadership components, Job Engagement, Engagement Component
