Abstract:
In many countries, employee’s engagement has emerged as a potential factor for organizational
performance. Many practitioners of human resource management have poorly understood mea surement of employee motivation for activities and more precisely its commitment. This study
analyzes factors on employee engagement and performance from selected retailing business en terprises in Wobulenzi-Luweero City, Uganda. A questionnaire was administered to 120 selected
respondents, using purposive sampling technique. Measurement was done with the use of de scriptive and inferential statistic approaches to consider responses from respondents and make
decision accordingly. The study focused on measuring the employee engagement in relation with
the organizational performance focusing on non-financial factors. The findings show that the de gree of retail employee engagement and the level of job satisfaction were very high in retailing
enterprises in Wabulenzi-Luwero city. However, it was observed that in retailing organizations,
employees were found it difficult to make equilibrium of work experience and house life with
their employment. This study shows that despite the association between employee engagement
and job satisfaction, there is no relationship between employee engagement and job assignment,
which is an important key factor for organization performance. The results reveal that job as signment is critical for engaging employees to ensure organizations’ longevity and profitability
