Abstract: Competition in the business world is getting tougher. This circumstance requires employees who have good engagement because employees having good engagement will have high morale, spread positive information about the organization for which they work, and always strive to provide the best for the organization. Leadership and human resource management practices within an organization shape employees’ perceptions, attitudes, and behavior. Similarly, the organizational culture, shared values, governs the behavior patterns of the organizations members. This research aims to develop a development model of employees’ engagement through leadership and human resource management practices through organizational culture that supports employees’ engagement. The data were collected by using questionnaires involving 111 students working in companies in the Jakarta, Bogor, Tangerang and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) as research respondents. The data were analyzed by using structural equation modeling (SEM) with AMOS program. The results showed that leadership and human resource management practices have a significant positive effect on employee engagement through organizational culture. Human resource management practices directly influence employees’ engagement, but the leadership has no significant direct effect on employees’ engagement.
