Abstract
One key element for most employees in every well-run and prosperous institution was job satisfaction. The goal of the article is to examine the effects of job involvement and employee engagement under an empowered lead on job satisfaction. Since the hospital is closely tied to everyone's health and was my area of interest, the study population consists of all of the personnel in Pakistan's private hospital industry. The researcher used leadership descriptive analysis with a correlation approach. A total of 162 sample sizes of employees working in different hospitals used a simple random sampling method. descriptive statistics using SPSS involved frequency table, regression and correlation applied for data analysis. The model depicts a significant and favorable association between job involvement, employee engagement, empowering leadership, and job happiness, according to the study's findings. Therefore, we can say satisfied employees are more involved and engaged with their work and are more productive. To improve employee performance and productivity, every firm should devise measures that bolster a positive work environment and raise employee happiness
