Abstract

The distinctive feature of employee engagement as an idea is that it pulls all of these positive job and work attitudes together under one umbrella and research clearly shows that when employee engagement is high, organisations do better.The present study aims to investigate the relationship between certain organizational, social and task related drivers which are in total termed as Engagement Drivers i.e. factors that drive engagement. The data was collected by administering a questionnaire to employees of a large FMCG company through mails. It identifies a number of job related factors that predict employee engagement and provides recommendations to improve employees’ engagement levels. (JD-R) model of Demerouti et al was partially adopted as the framework of the impact of seven job resources on employee engagement. Correlation and Regression analysis was used to establish relationship between selected variables (assumed as engagement drivers) and employee engagement. Results of the analyses revealed that financial rewards and participation in decision-making in organizational level drivers; supervisor support in social drivers; job autonomy and performance feedback in task-level drivers are significant factors in shaping employees’ job engagement.
