An imbalance between work life and personal life can often affect the level of employee involvement in their work. On the other hand, a servant leadership style that focuses on service and care for employees can also be a factor that influences the level of involvement. This research also identifies employee resilience as a mediating variable, describing an employee's ability to overcome pressure and challenges in the work environment. The respondents in this research were employees at the Badung Regency Regional Research and Innovation Agency. The number of respondents in this study was 63 respondents using nonprobability techniques, namely saturated samples or often called total sampling. This research uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis of the SmartPls 3.2.8 program. The results of this research show that work life balance has a positive and significant effect on employee resilience, but servant leadership has no effect on employee resilience. Work life balance, servant leadership, and employee resilience have a positive and significant influence on employee engagement. Employee resilience is a mediating variable on the influence of work life balance on employee engagement which is partially mediated. Employee resilience is not a mediating variable on the indirect influence of servant leadership.
