Abstract

This study examines the importance of employee engagement in facing the era of globalization, disruptive technology, and the fourth industrial revolution. Focusing on the Social Exchange Theory (SET) and the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) approach, this study explores how the alignment between employees and the work environment (Person-Environment Fit/P-E Fit) can strengthen the relationship between LMX and employee engagement (Employee Engagement/EE). The type of research used is descriptive and verification research which is research conducted on large or small populations but the data studied is from sample data taken from the population. The respondents in this study were 72 employees of PT. Kimia Farma R&D Division. Data collection was carried out through library research and field research. Based on the results of data analysis, it was found that the implementation of the Leader Member Exchange at PT. Kimia Farma, R&D Division, received a positive response from respondents, the majority of whom agreed with its implementation. So that Leader Member Exchange has a positive influence on Employee Engagement as evidenced by the correlation test value of 0.578 with a significance value of 0.000 lower than 0.005. In the study, the influence of the moderating variable, namely Person-Environment-Fit, strengthens the relationship between Leader Member Exchange and Employee Engagement as evidenced by an increase in the coefficient of determination from 0.334 to 0.410. The results of this study indicate that increasing the relationship between Leader Member Exchange strengthened by Person-Environment Fit can increase Employee Engagement at PT.
