Abstract

Academicians have observed that employee engagement is an important determinant for long-term success of a business organization. Despite the significant academic interest in empowerment, organizational climate, self-efficacy and employee engagement, there is a relative shortage of academic literature examining the impacts of empowerment, organizational climate, and self-efficacy on employee engagement in the Indian context. In this context, current study strived to render deep insights into the relationships among these constructs in Indian context in Manufacturing Companies. The main objective of the research was to study empowerment, organizational climate and self-efficacy as predictors of employee engagement across Manufacturing Sector in an integrated model. Population for this study consisted of employees working in Manufacturing Sector in National Capital Region of India. The National Capital Region of India comprises of Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad. It was established through this descriptive research study that psychological empowerment derived through feeling of meaningfulness of work and feeling of creating impact on work lead to Employee Engagement. The other influential factor which leads to employee engagement is Leadership Empowerment of employees.
