In recent years, employees’ perspectives on their job come upon as an underscore topic that is particularly in the field of organizational behavior. Therefore, the main purpose of the study is to identify the effects of two different leadership types on employees’ affective and physical work engagement. Research has been carried out on Malls, which is an important component of the retailing sector, and complete inventory method is used on Duzce Krempark Mall employees.  Quantitative method was preferred as research method and survey was preferred as the data collection technique. Factor analysis was performed primarily to determine the structure of variables. It has been found that the concepts of transformation and abusive leadership are represented in one dimension, and the concept work-engagement is represented in two dimensions as emotional and physical. When the interaction between variables is examined, the behaviors of abusive leadership have a negative effect on both emotional and physical work engagement while transformational leadership behaviors have a positive effect.
