Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The aim of the study was to examine the extent to which organisational factors, namely, training development, employee development, reward recognition, leadership style, organisational climate and employee communication, influence employee work engagement in the manufacturing sector of India, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable.Data were collected from 640 employees in companies across all Indian states, where there were more than 500 employees.The study revealed that employee engagement was significantly predicted by job satisfaction, leadership style and employee development.The relationship between employee engagement and reward recognition and communication was positive, although of limited significance.The study suggested that employee engagement was facilitated by the quality of leadership and tailor-made reward systems.The study has limitations, namely, that it covered only large companies and included a few constructs, restricting its generalizability to SMEs or other sectors as well.Future mandatory strategic efforts should focus on identifying constructs such as organisational culture and additional mediators such as emotional design to understand employee engagement behavior in multiple industries for further development.
