Understanding Employee Engagement: A ModerationAnalysis Perspective

Abstract

This study investigated the role of demographic variables as moderators in the relationships among Organizational Climate,
Empowerment, Self-Efficacy and Employee Engagement. For the study the total data of 447 employees including managers was
collected from Manufacturing and Information Technology sectors in NCR, India. In the study first it was studied and found that
there exist high levels of employee engagement in all the three dimensions, that is prevalence of empowerment, supportive
organisational climate and high level of self-efficacy belief among the employees of the organizations. The measurement scales to
measure study constructs were adopted from literature. The study data was analyzed by using moderation analysis in higher order
structural equation modelling with the help of IBM AMOS 16.0. The result revealed that in case of gender, there was no evidence
found of differential impact of predictors on the employee engagement. Whereas in case of other demographic variables used in
the study (education, age and tenure of work), there was strong evidence of differential impact on response variable (employee
engagement).
