- Abstract
In order to survive and gain a competitive advantage in today's fast-changing organisational environment, competitive pressures, and stakeholder demands, organisations attribute more importance to their workforce. The recent buzz among the industry, consulting firms and academia, still with vast scope for research, is the concept of employee engagement. There is an increasing awareness that employee engagement is pivotal to the success of the organisation. That is the reason that the world today is paying increased attention to Employee Engagement. The objective of the study is to ascertain how Employee Engagement and its facets like Growth, Teamwork, Management Support and Basic Needs, differ with workers demographic factors, including gender, age, and experience. Data was collected through self-administered questionnaires from 223 working adults in the IT companies of Pune, Maharashtra. Findings were made with the help of standard statistical software such as SPSS, and complete model testing was done with the help of AMOS. One-way ANOVA, Post Hoc test and T-tests are also used. The current study discovered that overall male employees have elevated engagement level than females. Female employees outscore men employees in the dimension of Basic Need of Employee Engagement, thus concluding that females are greatly engaged at the entry-level. Findings reveal that employees between 31-40 years, and employees with more experience are highly engaged. The study has practical implications as now the employers are aware that employee engagement in males on two dimensions, namely Growth and Management support, is more than as compared to females in the IT organisations. This study gives a clear understanding of how demographic factors influences employee work engagement that supports human capital management strategy within organisations. It is suggested that HR professionals can deploy targeted employee engagement programs and strategies to engage employees with their work and with the organisation.
