This study aims to explore the intermediary function of organizational justice in the correlation between healthcare practitioners’ perceived perception of servant leadership and work engagement. A total of 412 health professionals from three state hospitals in Kocaeli province participated in this research. A survey was administered to the participants selected through the convenience sampling approach. The data from the administered questionnaires were analyzed using the SPSS Process Macro based on the bootstrap technique. The results provide empirical validation for the hypothesis that perceiving servant leadership positively impacts the level of work engagement. Moreover, the research has shown that perceptions of organizational justice influence this positive effect. Additionally, it has been found that perceiving servant leadership has a favorable influence on organizational justice, which, in turn, positively impacts the level of work engagement. Based on these findings, managers may adopt servant leadership behaviors to promote work engagement and enhance perceptions of organizational justice.
