This type of research is positivist research. The analytical tool used is Partial Least Square Smart Program (PLS) Version 2.0.PLS, based on the Variance Based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. This research was conducted at the State Polytechnic of Malang. The population in this study is the Lecturer of the State Polytechnic of Malang. The number of samples used were 182 lecturers with a sampling technique using a census (saturated sample). Data was collected by distributing questionnaires to respondents. The results show that transformational leadership has no significant effect on job involvement and educator motivation mediates transformational leadership on job involvement significantly. The mediation of educator motivation explains that the strong contribution of educator motivation in determining the high work involvement of lecturers occurs due to the encouragement of organizational situations whose leaders apply transformational leadership well. The originality or the newness of this research is that the motivation of educators for intrinsic motivation to use blessings has not been carried out in previous studies.
