This study investigated the relationship between transformational leadership practices and employee engagement among faculty and staff in selected satellite campuses of Bukidnon State University (BukSU). Grounded in Bass's Transformational Leadership Theory (1985), the research focused on three core dimensions of transformational leadership, individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, and inspirational motivation and their influence on the level of employee engagement. A quantitative descriptive-correlational research design was employed. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 48 faculty and staff members across the Impasugong, Cabanglasan, and Lantapan BukSU satellite campuses. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Findings revealed that transformational leadership practices were perceived as “very high” across all three dimensions, with mean scores of 3.55 for intellectual stimulation, 3.42 for inspirational motivation, and 3.40 for individualized consideration. The high perception of leadership effectiveness leads to increased employee engagement and satisfaction. Correlation analysis indicated a statistically significant moderate positive relationship between overall transformational leadership and employee engagement (r = .593, p <.01). The study concludes that the consistent display of transformational leadership behaviors significantly enhances the level of employee engagement among the faculty and staff. It is recommended that leaders continuously exercise transformational behaviors to sustain a motivated and committed workforce, thereby contributing to higher quality education and professional growth in satellite campuses.
