The past literature has shown that it is known as one of the favourable leadership styles that lead to various positive organisational outcomes. However, the antecedents of benevolent leadership have not been sufficiently explored. This study aims to examine the antecedents of benevolent leadership and the relationship between benevolent leadership and employee engagement with psychological empowerment as a mediator. The antecedents, for instances, perceived leader’s characteristics, perceived leader’s integrity, emotional intelligence and perspective taking were proposed based on the skill theory. The effect of benevolent leadership towards employee engagement through psychological empowerment was explained by social exchange theory. Purpose – Evidences have shown that banking industry is striving to enhance employees engagement, this research intends to expand the body of knowledge regarding benevolent leadership and affirm the importance and effectiveness of benevolent leaders towards employee engagement in the banking industry of Malaysia.
