Interestingly, currently many of the workforce available are millennials, especially the challenges they face are varied in managing millennial human resources, starting from the hopes of those who want flexible work, collaboration together. Therefore, they need leaders who can give them space so they can work well. Research on transactional leadership has often been conducted, but in relation to engagement, consistent empirical evidence has not been found. Several previous studies still had different results, where some studies explained that some had an effect and no effect. This research will focus more on millennial samples who work in the service and employee level of managers who have worked for a long time.
