The result of the research shows that (1)volunteers of humanity organization tend to sometimes engaged significantly at α< 0.05, (2) volunteers of humanity organization has the condition of leadership which tends to have an inspirational motivation significantly at α< 0.05, (3) there is an influence of leadership style towards work engagement of volunteers in humanity organization significantly at α< 0.01, and (4) inspirational motivation is a kind of leadership style which is the strongest in determining the work engagement of volunteers in the humanity organization significantly at α< 0.05 while to generate inspirational motivation is highly determined by improving the role of idealized influence (behavior) and contingent reward.
