Sebagian besar organisasi pemerintahan di Indonesia saat ini didominasi oleh aparatur sipil negara (ASN) milenial, yang dituntut berkinerja tinggi untuk mendukung kinerja dan pencapaian tujuan organisasi serta kualitas pelayanan publik. Work engagement merupakan kondisi psikologis positif yang harus dipenuhi untuk mencapai hal-hal tersebut. Kondisi individu yang not engaged dan actively disengaged dapat memunculkan konsekuensi yang merugikan organisasi maupun masyarakat pengguna layanan publik sehingga diperlukan upaya meningkatkan dan mempertahankan stabilitas work engagement melalui peran pemimpin yang efektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki peran leader group prototypicality dan leader personal power terhadap work engagement. Data kuantitatif dikumpulkan dari 104 ASN milenial yang bekerja di sebuah organisasi pemerintahan di Indonesia dengan metode survei secara daring. Analisis regresi linear berganda mengungkap bahwa leader group prototypicality dan leader personal power secara simultan berperan positif dan signifikan dalam memprediksi work engagement (F = 13,890; p < 0,05). Penelitian ini memberikan implikasi perlunya mempromosikan aspek prototipikalitas dan kekuatan personal dalam proses perencanaan dan pengembangan kepemimpinan yang berdampak langsung pada work engagement.
