This study explores the impact of Mindful Leadership and Work Engagement on employee discipline at Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Agama Buddha (STIAB) Jinarakkhita Lampung. Utilizing a quantitative research design, the study employed a census method to gather data from all 40 faculty and staff members through structured questionnaires. The analysis, conducted using multiple linear regression, revealed that both Mindful Leadership and Work Engagement have a significant and positive impact on employee discipline. Specifically, Mindful Leadership demonstrated a standardized coefficient of 0.45 (p = 0.002), and Work Engagement showed a coefficient of 0.38 (p = 0.005). These findings indicate that mindful leadership practices and high levels of work engagement substantially contribute to enhancing employee discipline. The results suggest that leaders who exhibit mindfulness and employees who are highly engaged are more likely to adhere to organizational norms, maintain punctuality, and use work time effectively. The study contributes to the theoretical understanding of emotional intelligence in leadership and highlights the importance of fostering work engagement to promote a disciplined and productive work environment. These insights offer practical implications for leadership development and organizational management strategies.
