Abstract:
Employee engagement is all about an employee’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral involvement,
in other words, an employee’s head, heart, and hand involvement to his/her organization and the job. Employee
engagement has become a buzzword in management circles because of its consequences such as employee job
performance and organizational financial performance. The main aim of this paper is to identify the factors
affecting employee engagement. High performance work practices, leadership, financial and non-financial
rewards, work life balance and trust are the identified factors of employee engagement. A population gap,
unearthed, related to a public listed bank in Sri Lankan. Identified research gap was bridged with a sample of 100
managerial employees, i.e. the unit of analysis. This is a cross sectional study. The purpose of the study is
hypothesis testing. The type of investigation is correlational. The time horizon of the study is cross-sectional in a
non-contrived study setting with minimal researcher interference.
