Abstract
This study investigates how transformational leadership and organizational justice directly and indirectly shape faculty work engagement in universities in Liaoning Province, China, with job satisfaction as a mediating factor. Using quantitative research and structured questionnaires, the study measures job satisfaction, work engagement, transformational leadership, and organizational justice among faculty. Descriptive statistics and correlational analysis reveal that both transformational leadership and organizational justice significantly enhance job satisfaction, which in turn strongly drives faculty engagement. Leaders who promote fair, supportive environments foster better relationships and organizational effectiveness. The central argument is that strengthening job satisfaction through fair and transformational leadership is crucial for sustainable faculty commitment and organizational success. These findings offer actionable insights for policy and strategy to boost employee well-being and engagement in higher education.
