description Purpose: As more and more organizations are adopting transformational leadership practices, there has been an increased focus on employee engagement and work culture in both the academic and practitioner communities in recent years. Specifically, this study examines the effects of employee engagement and work culture on transformational leadership among female secondary school teachers of Pakistan in terms of their work life balance. Design/Methodology/Approach: To collect data from the 196 female teachers of secondary schools in Pakistan, a questionnaire was distributed using a convenient sampling technique. In order to analyze the collected data from the designated sample of the target population, an inferential statistical technique known as Structural Equation Modelling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was employed.   Findings: Based on the findings of the study, employee engagement and work culture have a positive correlation with transformational leadership. The correlation between employee engagement and work culture with transformational leadership was also significantly mediated by work life balance.   Implications/Originality/Value: When professionals practice work life balance, employees' transformational leadership begins to rise in secondary educational institutions. The study will be of substantial assistance and benefit to policymakers and administrators of secondary schools, as well as researchers in Pakistan. Consequently, they will be able to adjust their programs and policies in order to meet the professional needs of female teachers in regard to employee engagement, work culture, and work life balance.
