Preserving competent employees is still a primary challenge for the organization today. Every company needs to make efforts to retain the employees they have. PT.X is one of the companies operating in the education sector that needs to anticipate future turnovers. This study aims to investigate the role of engaging leadership toward organizational commitment in the Proximal Withdrawal States (PWS) at PT.X. Researchers hope that by great engaging leadership, the organizational commitment will improve so that the probability of turnover will decrease. The study was administered on 295 employees at PT.X, who is a permanent employee and had worked for more than one year. This research belongs to non-experimental quantitative research. A simple regression model was conducted to process the data of this study. The results showed that engaging leadership had a significant role of 16.8% toward organizational commitment. However, based on the situation description, engaging leadership only plays a significant role in the "reluctant stayers," "reluctant leavers," and "enthusiastic stayers" situation. In the "reluctant stayers" situation, engaging leadership accounts for 12.1%. In the "reluctant leavers" situation, a significant role of 62.7% was found, and 8.4% in the "enthusiastic stayers" situation. Furthermore, it is revealed that engaging leadership only plays a significant role toward the continual and normative commitment dimensions in the "reluctant stayers" situation. Meanwhile, in the "reluctant leavers" and "enthusiastic stayers" situation, engaging leadership only plays a significant role in the affective and normative commitment dimensions.Memperoleh karyawan yang kompeten saat ini masih menjadi tantangan utama bagi organisasi.
