Abstract: This study aims to highlight a key role of strategic view in leadership and engagement as well as emphasise its consistency in modelling a conceptual framework in retail industry. Based on the integrated groundwork of theories (i.e., resource-based view, upper echelons, social exchange and the evolution of strategic leadership), this study attempts to explore the potential drivers of organisational performance in retail industry from the strategic leadership perspectives with the mediating role of collective organisational engagement (COE). All of these variables are approached consistently at organisational level under the light of strategic view. The propositions are also logically formulated to visualise the findings. This study is believed to make significant implications for further empirical research as well as the development of management in retail industry.

Keywords: strategic leadership; collective organisational engagement; COE; organisational performance; retail industry; Vietnam.
