I. INTRODUCTION TO STUDY 
It is the need of the hour that, Organizations should increasingly convert from traditionalism to the contemporary learning and individualized corporations. With growing opportunity and greater flow of information, employees today want to be in the best workplaces handling the best suited responsibilities and enjoy greater autonomy. Therefore, engaging the employees to the work as per their competency level must occupy the center stage not only for the HR department but also for the immediate bosses. Kahn (1990) in his work of conceptualization of engagement stated that self and role exist in some dynamic, negotiable relation in which a person both drives personal energies into role behaviors and displays the self within the role. He further said that such engagement serves to fulfill the human spirit at work. Alternatively, disengagement is viewed as the defending themselves during role performances.The extent that an employee believes in the mission, purpose and values of an organization and demonstrates that commitment through their actions and their attitude towards the employer (both internal & external) will determine the employee satisfaction towards his/her work. Employee engagement is high when the statements and conversations held reflect a natural enthusiasm for the company, its employees and the products or services provided. EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT – BRIEF : Employee engagement is the level of commitment and involvement an employee has towards their organization and its values. An engaged employee is aware of business context, and works with colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit of the organization. Maslach and Leiter (1997) defined employee engagement as the direct opposite of burnout dimensions. They suggested that engagement involves three main factors—root energy, involvement and efficacy, whereas in burnout, state these three change into exhaustion, cynicism and ineffectiveness respectively. 
According to the Modern survey, Inc. (2013) Employee Engagement is the degree to which employees are psychologically invested in the organization and motivated to contribute to its success. Engagement results in discretionary effort toward attaining organizational goals.In other words, employee engagement can be described as:―The degree to which an employee is emotionally bonded to his/her organization and are passionate about the work that really matters‖. The organization must work to develop and nurture engagement, which
Leveraging Employee Engagement To Sustain… 
www.ijbmi.org 57 | Page 
requires a two-way relationship between employer and employee. Thus Employee engagement is a barometer that determines the association of a person within the organization. Engagement can also be defined as ―the extent to which people enjoy and believe in what they do and feel valued for doing it.‖ Employee commitment and engagement is measured by three primary behaviours – Say, Stay and Strive. 
 'Say' is evidently achieved if the employee consistently speaks positively about the organisation to co- workers and refers potential employees and customers. 
 'Stay' refers to the employee's intensive desire to be a member of the organisation, despite opportunities to work elsewhere. 
 'Strive' indicates an extra effort and behaviours that contribute to business success. 
As organizations globalize and become more dependent on technology in a virtual working environment, there is a greater need to connect and engage with employees to provide them with an ―organizational identity‖. Employee engagement plays a greater role in the current era where every contribution by each of the employee counts.Employee engagement programmes throw light into the success of the company in engaging its employees in the productive activities.Employee engagement is not just the process of engaging the employees productively (Cordery J.,2006). It also expects the organization to pave the way to ensure that the employees are motivated to put in their best efforts for the wealth maximization. This requires building loyalty which can inject commitment in doing quality work. The mission must be well defined and supported by well- set organizational plans and policies for its attainment. The management is also to provide with the set of tools and material that are necessary for performing the task effectively.Employee engagement can be defined as an employee putting forth extra discretionary effort, as well as the likelihood of the employee being loyal and remaining with the organization over the long haul. Research shows that engaged employees: perform better, put in extra efforts to help get the job done, show a strong level of commitment to the organization, and are more motivated and optimistic about their work goals. Employers with engaged employees tend to experience low employee turnover and more impressive business outcomes. CATEGORIES OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT According to the Gallup, the Consulting organization there is there are different types of people:- ENGAGED:"Engaged" employees are builders. They want to know the desired expectations for their role so that they can meet and exceed them. They are naturally curious about their company and their place in it. They perform at consistently high levels. They want to use their talents and strengths at work every day. They work with passion and they drive innovation and move their organization forward. 
 Work with passion 
 Feel connected to work, employer 
 Drive innovation 
 High levels of effort 
 Persistence at difficult tasks 
 Providing assistance to others 
 Going ―above and beyond‖ 
 Making recommendations 
 Expanding personal 
 Adapting to change 
II. NOT ENGAGED: 
―Not-engaged‖ employees tend to concentrate on tasks rather than the goals andoutcomes they are expected to accomplish. They want to be told what to do just so they can do it and say they have finished. They focus on accomplishing tasks vs. achieving an outcome. Employees who are not-engaged tend to feel their contributions are being overlooked, and their potential is not being tapped. They often feel this way because they don't have productive relationships with their managers or with their coworkers. 
 Checked out or retired on the job 
 Putting in their time, not their energy

III. ACTIVELY DISENGAGED: 
The "Actively Disengaged" employees are the "cave dwellers." They are "Consistently against Virtually Everything." They're not just unhappy at work; they're busy acting out their unhappiness. They sow seeds of negativity at every opportunity. Every day, actively disengaged workers undermine what their engaged coworkers accomplish.As workers increasingly rely on each other to generate products and services, the problems and tensions that are fostered by actively disengaged workers can cause great damage to an organization's functioning (Radhakrishnan Nair, 2013). 
 Interfere with others productivity 
IMPORTANCE OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT An organization’s capacity to manage employee engagement is closely allied with its ability to achieve high performance levels and superior business results (Neeta Bhatla, 2011). Some of the advantages of Engaged employees are: 
 Engaged employees will stay with the company, be an advocate of the company products and services, and contribute to the bottom line of the business success. 
 They will normally perform better and are Self-Motivated. 
 There is a significant link between employee engagement and profitability. 
 They form an emotional connection with the company. This impacts their attitude towards the company’s clients, and thereby improves customer satisfaction and service levels. 
 It builds passion, commitment and alignment with the organization’s strategies and goals 
 Increases employees’ trust in the organization 
 Creates a sense of loyalty in a competitive environment 
 Provides a high-energy working environment 
 Boosts business growth 
 Makes the employees effective brand ambassadors for the company 
 A highly engaged employee will consistently deliver beyond expectations. 
DIMENSIONS RELATED TO EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT Physical dimension 
 Levels of energy or effort 
 Persistence 
Emotional dimension 
 Enthusiasm and inspiration 
 Sense of significance, pride, and challenge 
 Feelings about job, supervisor, management, organization 
Intellectual dimension 
 Mental focus 
 Level of concentration 
 Absorption in tasks 
 Beliefs about organization, leaders, workplace culture 
 
Engagement is important for managers to cultivate, given that disengagement or alienation is central to the problem of workers’ lack of commitment and motivation (Aktouf). Meaningless work is often associated with apathy and detachment from ones works (Thomas and Velthouse). In such conditions, individuals are thought to be estranged from their selves (Seeman, 1972). Thus the study attempts to study the Employee engagement in an energy based industry as it also contributes to the growth of the country. NEED FOR THE STUDY An engaged employee is aware of business context, and works with colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit of the organization. Disengagement leads to lack of commitment and motivation. Employee engagement maximizes the contribution of each individual towards corporate imperatives and metrics, individual employees need to find purpose and satisfaction in their work. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY 
The objective of the study was to examine the dimensions of employee’s engagement and to determine the
Leveraging Employee Engagement To Sustain… 
www.ijbmi.org 59 | Page 
contribution of each department towards each dimension index. The study also attempts to determine the factors influencing employee engagement positively and negatively in their job. SCOPE OF THE STUDY The present environment of business is highly competitive. Numerous Multi-National Companies (MNCs) and local giants are entering into the market in these recent days. The market is highly competitive and to break that is certainly a challenge. Active employee engagement is the best tool to cope up with the situation and to differentiate from others. The study would help the organization to find out the employee engagement task and to identify the areas which are disengaged.

Debunking the ideal worker myth: Effects of temporal flexibility & family configuration on engagement 
US 
The researchers examined the impact of flexibility policies and employee family configuration on work engagement. More specifically, rather than looking at one or two particular policies, they examined the impact of groups of policies based on the dimension of temporal flexibility they afforded. In considering two different types of temporal flexibility, they found that episodic flexibility had more of a positive effect on employees’. Impact of Flexibility policies for single, childless workers is counter intuitive. Other findings also suggest that by implementing policies that offer employees the opportunity to develop in all aspects of their lives, organizations can increase their supply of a coveted commodity – employee engagement. Broader policies that allow all employees a greater degree of control over their work and non-work lives, and that explicitly encourage employees to develop enriching lives outside of work can benefit the entire organization. Thus according to them by doing well and helping employees to enhance their whole lives, organizations can also do well.

Leveraging Employee Engagement for Competitive Advantage in The Hospitality Industry. A Comparative 
Study of Hotels 
Zimbabwe 
Employee engagement in the hospitality industry plays a critical role in determining the 
Competitiveness of a company. As such successful organizations can be distinguished by unsuccessful organization by virtue of looking at the levels of employee engagement. This research also highlighted the other determinants of competitive advantage in the two organizations, but equally indicating the significance of employee engagement, to strengthen these other factors. The findings from both hotels demonstrated the

differences in overall performance between the two organizations. There was strong evidence that highly engaged workgroups outperform groups with lower employee engagement, Organization having a greater number of employees that are completely disengaged is poorly placed in employee engagement. Employees of the organization having less completely disengaged employees are strongly satisfied, and are very much willing to stay with their employer As a result the hotel with higher engagement levels enjoyed a competitive edge with 43.7% markets share against 17.3% market share of the other hotel.

VII. SUGGESTIONS 
The engagement initiatives should focus on equipping every level of the workforce, clarifying who is accountable for what and how best to contribute to a culture of employee engagement. Development efforts focus on ―career‖ as a way of aligning long-term employee aspirations with the organization’s talent needs of tomorrow. The managers should address disengagement decisively without letting the Disengaged monopolize their efforts (Radhakrishnan, 2013). Communication flow in both upward and downward should be increased; Supervisors have to communicate at regular intervals for solving employee complaints, problems and to manage stress (Shiv Kumar Sharma and Sukhmeet Kaur.Department, 2014) wise feedback has to be taken on challenges and frustrations to retain employees and also on Compensation and Benefits, Employee Retention, Work Environment, Innovation and Risk-Taking, Manager Quality. 
VIII. CONCLUSION 
Employee Engagement ignites positive attitude among the employees towards their organization and its values (Swatee Sarangi; Sushma C S, 2012). It has a vital role in the workplace and has a huge impact on the organization in a vibrant ways. Employee Engagement is constant passion and an understanding of their needs and psychology. A good mix of objective and subjective approach can help the organization to comprehend them to a finer degree (Abhijit Bhaduri, 2013). Engagement should be a continuous process of learning, improvement, measurement and action. Hence, raising and maintaining employee engagement is a major responsibility of an organization that requires a perfect blend of time, effort, commitment and investment to craft a successful endeavor. 
IX. SCOPE OF THE FUTURE STUDY 
The future research can concentrate on relationship between work engagement and performance which employs both quantitative and qualitative research methods. This practice would add depth and detail to the study (Swanson, 1997). Qualitative approaches solicit rich meanings and provide opportunities for expanded dialogues. The future research can be conducted in as many cultural settings (Cook & Cambell, 2002) as possible which in turn will strengthen the concept. REFERENCES

In view of this, the study was conducted in wind power generating industry in Coimbatore a wind turbine gearbox manufacturer. The study explores the factors influencing employee engagement among employees working for the firm. The paper examines the components that bring employee commitment and involvement in detail. The research design adopted for the study was descriptive in nature. The data was collected from 472 employees. The objective of the study was to examine the dimensions of employee’s engagement and to determine the contribution of each department towards each dimension index. The study also attempts to determine the factors influencing employee engagement positively and negatively in their job. Analysis was done on various perspectives such as employee commitment, retention, benefit and compensation, work environment, manager quality, innovation and risk-taking, communication and career development. The findings of the study highlighted the fundamental factors complying employee engagement in wind power generating industry in Coimbatore city. KEY WORDS: Employee Engagement, Organisation, Dimensions, Index I. INTRODUCTION TO STUDY It is the need of the hour that, Organizations should increasingly convert from traditionalism to the contemporary learning and individualized corporations. With growing opportunity and greater flow of information, employees today want to be in the best workplaces handling the best suited responsibilities and enjoy greater autonomy. Therefore, engaging the employees to the work as per their competency level must occupy the center stage not only for the HR department but also for the immediate bosses. Kahn (1990) in his work of conceptualization of engagement stated that self and role exist in some dynamic, negotiable relation in which a person both drives personal energies into role behaviors and displays the self within the role. He further said that such engagement serves to fulfill the human spirit at work. Alternatively, disengagement is viewed as the defending themselves during role performances.The extent that an employee believes in the mission, purpose and values of an organization and demonstrates that commitment through their actions and their attitude towards the employer (both internal & external) will determine the employee satisfaction towards his/her work. Employee engagement is high when the statements and conversations held reflect a natural enthusiasm for the company, its employees and the products or services provided. EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT – BRIEF : Employee engagement is the level of commitment and involvement an employee has towards their organization and its values. An engaged employee is aware of business context, and works with colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit of the organization. Maslach and Leiter (1997) defined employee engagement as the direct opposite of burnout dimensions. They suggested that engagement involves three main factors—root energy, involvement and efficacy, whereas in burnout, state these three change into exhaustion, cynicism and ineffectiveness respectively. According to the Modern survey, Inc. (2013) Employee Engagement is the degree to which employees are psychologically invested in the organization and motivated to contribute to its success. Engagement results in discretionary effort toward attaining organizational goals.In other words, employee engagement can be described as:―The degree to which an employee is emotionally bonded to his/her organization and are passionate about the work that really matters‖. The organization must work to develop and nurture engagement, which
  • 2. Leveraging Employee Engagement To Sustain… www.ijbmi.org 57 | Page requires a two-way relationship between employer and employee. Thus Employee engagement is a barometer that determines the association of a person within the organization. Engagement can also be defined as ―the extent to which people enjoy and believe in what they do and feel valued for doing it.‖ Employee commitment and engagement is measured by three primary behaviours – Say, Stay and Strive.  'Say' is evidently achieved if the employee consistently speaks positively about the organisation to co- workers and refers potential employees and customers.  'Stay' refers to the employee's intensive desire to be a member of the organisation, despite opportunities to work elsewhere.  'Strive' indicates an extra effort and behaviours that contribute to business success. As organizations globalize and become more dependent on technology in a virtual working environment, there is a greater need to connect and engage with employees to provide them with an ―organizational identity‖. Employee engagement plays a greater role in the current era where every contribution by each of the employee counts.Employee engagement programmes throw light into the success of the company in engaging its employees in the productive activities.Employee engagement is not just the process of engaging the employees productively (Cordery J.,2006). It also expects the organization to pave the way to ensure that the employees are motivated to put in their best efforts for the wealth maximization. This requires building loyalty which can inject commitment in doing quality work. The mission must be well defined and supported by well- set organizational plans and policies for its attainment. The management is also to provide with the set of tools and material that are necessary for performing the task effectively.Employee engagement can be defined as an employee putting forth extra discretionary effort, as well as the likelihood of the employee being loyal and remaining with the organization over the long haul. Research shows that engaged employees: perform better, put in extra efforts to help get the job done, show a strong level of commitment to the organization, and are more motivated and optimistic about their work goals. Employers with engaged employees tend to experience low employee turnover and more impressive business outcomes. CATEGORIES OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT According to the Gallup, the Consulting organization there is there are different types of people:- ENGAGED:"Engaged" employees are builders. They want to know the desired expectations for their role so that they can meet and exceed them. They are naturally curious about their company and their place in it. They perform at consistently high levels. They want to use their talents and strengths at work every day. They work with passion and they drive innovation and move their organization forward.  Work with passion  Feel connected to work, employer  Drive innovation  High levels of effort  Persistence at difficult tasks  Providing assistance to others  Going ―above and beyond‖  Making recommendations  Expanding personal  Adapting to change II. NOT ENGAGED: ―Not-engaged‖ employees tend to concentrate on tasks rather than the goals andoutcomes they are expected to accomplish. They want to be told what to do just so they can do it and say they have finished. They focus on accomplishing tasks vs. achieving an outcome. Employees who are not-engaged tend to feel their contributions are being overlooked, and their potential is not being tapped. They often feel this way because they don't have productive relationships with their managers or with their coworkers.  Checked out or retired on the job  Putting in their time, not their energy

They are "Consistently against Virtually Everything." They're not just unhappy at work; they're busy acting out their unhappiness. They sow seeds of negativity at every opportunity. Every day, actively disengaged workers undermine what their engaged coworkers accomplish.As workers increasingly rely on each other to generate products and services, the problems and tensions that are fostered by actively disengaged workers can cause great damage to an organization's functioning (Radhakrishnan Nair, 2013).  Interfere with others productivity IMPORTANCE OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT An organization’s capacity to manage employee engagement is closely allied with its ability to achieve high performance levels and superior business results (Neeta Bhatla, 2011). Some of the advantages of Engaged employees are:  Engaged employees will stay with the company, be an advocate of the company products and services, and contribute to the bottom line of the business success.  They will normally perform better and are Self-Motivated.  There is a significant link between employee engagement and profitability.  They form an emotional connection with the company. This impacts their attitude towards the company’s clients, and thereby improves customer satisfaction and service levels.  It builds passion, commitment and alignment with the organization’s strategies and goals  Increases employees’ trust in the organization  Creates a sense of loyalty in a competitive environment  Provides a high-energy working environment  Boosts business growth  Makes the employees effective brand ambassadors for the company  A highly engaged employee will consistently deliver beyond expectations. DIMENSIONS RELATED TO EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT Physical dimension  Levels of energy or effort  Persistence Emotional dimension  Enthusiasm and inspiration  Sense of significance, pride, and challenge  Feelings about job, supervisor, management, organization Intellectual dimension  Mental focus  Level of concentration  Absorption in tasks  Beliefs about organization, leaders, workplace culture  Engagement is important for managers to cultivate, given that disengagement or alienation is central to the problem of workers’ lack of commitment and motivation (Aktouf). Meaningless work is often associated with apathy and detachment from ones works (Thomas and Velthouse). In such conditions, individuals are thought to be estranged from their selves (Seeman, 1972). Thus the study attempts to study the Employee engagement in an energy based industry as it also contributes to the growth of the country. NEED FOR THE STUDY An engaged employee is aware of business context, and works with colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit of the organization. Disengagement leads to lack of commitment and motivation. Employee engagement maximizes the contribution of each individual towards corporate imperatives and metrics, individual employees need to find purpose and satisfaction in their work. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The objective of the study was to examine the dimensions of employee’s engagement and to determine the
  • 4. Leveraging Employee Engagement To Sustain… www.ijbmi.org 59 | Page contribution of each department towards each dimension index. The study also attempts to determine the factors influencing employee engagement positively and negatively in their job. SCOPE OF THE STUDY The present environment of business is highly competitive. Numerous Multi-National Companies (MNCs) and local giants are entering into the market in these recent days. The market is highly competitive and to break that is certainly a challenge. Active employee engagement is the best tool to cope up with the situation and to differentiate from others. The study would help the organization to find out the employee engagement task and to identify the areas which are disengaged. IV. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Author & Year Title of Paper Country Findings Lynn Kalani Terumi Hayase (2009) Internal communication in organizations and employee engagement USA The purpose of this study was to determine if internal communication has an effect on employee engagement levels. Examining the actors of communication and engagement itwas found that a relationship does exist. The results indicated that organizations could utilize internal communication to improve employee engagement. Solomon arkos and M. Sandhya Sridevi (2010) Employee Engagement: The Key to Improving Performance - In order to have engaged employees in any organization, managers suggested looking at ten points. Start it on day one, Start it from the top, Enhance employee engagement through two-way communication, give satisfactory opportunities for development and advancement. Organizations should ensure that employees have everything they need to do their jobs, Give employees appropriate training, Have strong feedback system, Incentives have a part to play, Build a distinctive corporate culture, Focus on top-performing employees. Jill E. Perry Smith and Tracy L. Dumas (2007) Debunking the ideal worker myth: Effects of temporal flexibility & family configuration on engagement US The researchers examined the impact of flexibility policies and employee family configuration on work engagement. More specifically, rather than looking at one or two particular policies, they examined the impact of groups of policies based on the dimension of temporal flexibility they afforded. In considering two different types of temporal flexibility, they found that episodic flexibility had more of a positive effect on employees’. Impact of Flexibility policies for single, childless workers is counter intuitive. Other findings also suggest that by implementing policies that offer employees the opportunity to develop in all aspects of their lives, organizations can increase their supply of a coveted commodity – employee engagement. Broader policies that allow all employees a greater degree of control over their work and non-work lives, and that explicitly encourage employees to develop enriching lives outside of work can benefit the entire organization. Thus according to them by doing well and helping employees to enhance their whole lives, organizations can also do well. FaraiNcube and Steven Jerie (2006) Leveraging Employee Engagement for Competitive Advantage in The Hospitality Industry. A Comparative Study of Hotels Zimbabwe Employee engagement in the hospitality industry plays a critical role in determining the Competitiveness of a company. As such successful organizations can be distinguished by unsuccessful organization by virtue of looking at the levels of employee engagement. This research also highlighted the other determinants of competitive advantage in the two organizations, but equally indicating the significance of employee engagement, to strengthen these other factors. The findings from both hotels demonstrated the
  • 5. Leveraging Employee Engagement To Sustain… www.ijbmi.org 60 | Page A and B in Zimbabwe differences in overall performance between the two organizations. There was strong evidence that highly engaged workgroups outperform groups with lower employee engagement, Organization having a greater number of employees that are completely disengaged is poorly placed in employee engagement. Employees of the organization having less completely disengaged employees are strongly satisfied, and are very much willing to stay with their employer As a result the hotel with higher engagement levels enjoyed a competitive edge with 43.7% markets share against 17.3% market share of the other hotel. Dr.Padmakumar Ram and Dr. Gantasala V. Prabhakar (2011) An enquiry into the mediatory role of employee engagement: Evidence from the hotel Industry in Jordan Jordan The research recommends assisting organization to retain their talented staff and not only to retain them but to provide more holistic experience has that included a balance between their work environment and their home life. Employee turnover causes and little commitment on the part of organization can be alleviated through effective retention & WLB strategies. The results confirmed the relationship between Employee Engagement and Perceived Organizational Support. The effect of Job Characteristics, Intrinsic and Extrinsic Rewards, Perceived Supervisor Support, Perceptions of Procedural Justice, Perceptions of Distributive Justice on Employee Engagement is also confirmed. Respondents also valued recognition, appreciation, challenging work, growth opportunities along with equitable pay plans. Together, the presence of these dimensions considered for this study contribute to Employee Engagement and in turn influencing the extent of Job satisfaction, Organizational Commitment, Intention to continue with the employer and heightened responsibility toward work related issues Dr. Yasmin Janjhua (2011) Employee Engagement: A Study Of HPSEB Employees India The results showed that job characteristics contribute to job engagement, and organizational engagement. If the employees feel that their jobs provided variety, freedom, identity and proper feedback the employees get more engrossed and engaged in their work thereby leading to more quality, productivity and efficiency. Perceived organizational support was significantly positively related to job engagement and organizational engagement. V. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY The research design used in the study was descriptive by nature. Descriptive research can be either quantitative or qualitative. It involves collection of quantitative information that can be tabulated. Descriptive research involves gathering data that describe events and then organizes, tabulates, depicts and describes the data collection (Glass & Hopkins, 1984). The data was collected through the structured questionnaire designed by Boston Consulting group. The reliability co-efficient was estimated by Cronbach Alpha Reliability Analysis. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was 0.923, hence the instrument was said to be highly reliable. The sampling design used for the study was census sampling, as the population size was 472 employees and the data was gathered from 472 employees. The research data was analyzed draw the results favouring the objectives of the study.

  • 13. Leveraging Employee Engagement To Sustain… www.ijbmi.org 68 | Page VII. SUGGESTIONS The engagement initiatives should focus on equipping every level of the workforce, clarifying who is accountable for what and how best to contribute to a culture of employee engagement. Development efforts focus on ―career‖ as a way of aligning long-term employee aspirations with the organization’s talent needs of tomorrow. The managers should address disengagement decisively without letting the Disengaged monopolize their efforts (Radhakrishnan, 2013). Communication flow in both upward and downward should be increased; Supervisors have to communicate at regular intervals for solving employee complaints, problems and to manage stress (Shiv Kumar Sharma and Sukhmeet Kaur.Department, 2014) wise feedback has to be taken on challenges and frustrations to retain employees and also on Compensation and Benefits, Employee Retention, Work Environment, Innovation and Risk-Taking, Manager Quality. VIII. CONCLUSION Employee Engagement ignites positive attitude among the employees towards their organization and its values (Swatee Sarangi; Sushma C S, 2012). It has a vital role in the workplace and has a huge impact on the organization in a vibrant ways. Employee Engagement is constant passion and an understanding of their needs and psychology. A good mix of objective and subjective approach can help the organization to comprehend them to a finer degree (Abhijit Bhaduri, 2013). Engagement should be a continuous process of learning, improvement, measurement and action. Hence, raising and maintaining employee engagement is a major responsibility of an organization that requires a perfect blend of time, effort, commitment and investment to craft a successful endeavor. IX. SCOPE OF THE FUTURE STUDY The future research can concentrate on relationship between work engagement and performance which employs both quantitative and qualitative research methods. This practice would add depth and detail to the study (Swanson, 1997). Qualitative approaches solicit rich meanings and provide opportunities for expanded dialogues. The future research can be conducted in as many cultural settings (Cook & Cambell, 2002) as possible which in turn will strengthen the concept.
