Exploring Key Factors Influencing Employee Engagement in Indian Organizations

Abstract

Employee satisfaction and organizational success are significantly influenced by employee engagement. Understanding the factors that enhance engagement is crucial for fostering a productive workplace and realizing the full potential of the workforce. This study identifies the determinants of employee engagement within the Indian context through a quantitative research approach. Utilizing a structured questionnaire, data was collected from 180 employees across various organizations. The analysis, conducted using exploratory factor analysis via SPSS 24.0, revealed key constructs that influence engagement: workplace engagement, work gratification, workplace well-being, organizational connectivity, organizational tenure, and job satisfaction. These constructs collectively explained a significant variance in employee engagement levels, offering insights into how organizations can enhance employee involvement and satisfaction. The findings contribute to the broader understanding of employee engagement, providing a foundation for strategies that can lead to improved organizational outcomes in the Indian business environment. This study underscores the importance of strategic HR practices in cultivating an engaged and productive workforce.
