 Abstract

This study examines how supportive leadership, through the influence of work engagement, affects the voice behavior of correctional officers in Aceh's Ministry of Law and Human Rights. A total of 158 officers participated by completing questionnaires distributed via Google Forms over different time periods. All proposed hypotheses were confirmed. The results emphasize the significance of understanding these factors for organizational success and enhancing employee engagement. Correctional officers in Aceh benefit from supportive leadership, which improves work quality and increases their willingness to share opinions on work-related matters.
