The aim of this study is to examine the relationships between resonant leadership, work engagement and employee performance and to reveal whether work engagement has a mediating effect on the effect of resonant leadership perception on employee performance. Another aim of the study is to determine whether nurses’ perceptions of resonant leadership, work engagement and employee performance differ according to various socio-demographic characteristics (such as age, gender and educational status). The study was carried out on 310 nurses working in a university hospital in Edirne, Turkey. According to the analyses made in the study, resonant leadership explained 8.7 per cent of the total variance on work engagement and 2 per cent of the total variance on employee performance; it was determined that work engagement explained 22.2 per cent of the total variance on employee performance. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that the effect of resonant leadership perception on employee performance was mediated by work engagement.
