      abstract = {This study aims to examine the influence of self- leadership and work-life balance on employee performance, with employee engagement as a moderating variable in the Procurement of Goods and Services Division of Malang Regency, Indonesia. The research employs SEM-PLS for data analysis, using a saturated sample technique that includes all 41 employees. The findings reveal that self-leadership has a significant positive impact on employee performance, indicating that the higher an employee's self-leadership capability, the better their performance. Similarly, work-life balance significantly enhances employee performance, suggesting that well-managed work-life balance contributes to improved productivity. However, employee engagement as a moderating variable does not exert a meaningful effect. While it slightly strengthens the relationship between self-leadership and performance, the impact is not statistically significant. In contrast, employee engagement significantly moderates the relationship between work-life balance and performance, reinforcing the importance of a balanced personal and professional life. These findings suggest that enhancing employee performance is more effectively achieved through direct improvements in self-leadership and work-life balance rather than relying on employee engagement. Therefore, organizational policies should prioritize strategies that optimize work-life balance to help employees maintain a healthy equilibrium between work and personal life.},
