Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with the assistance of SmartPLS software. The findings indicate that empowering leadership has a positive and significant effect on work engagement, with a path coefficient of 0.393 (p = 0.004). In addition, empowering leadership has a positive and significant effect on perceptions of insider status, with a path coefficient of 0.431 (p = 0.000). Furthermore, perceptions of insider status positively and significantly affect work engagement, with a path coefficient of 0.215 (p = 0.004).
