ABSTRACT:
A broad concept which clutches substantially every aspect of human resource management is called Employee Engagement. If all aspects of human resources are not tackled properly, then workers are unable to commit themselves to their job. Employee Engagement is connected with previous conceptions including job enrichment, employee responsibility, and organizational citizenship behavior. However, employee engagement is discovered from these concepts, but it is broader in scope. Employee Engagement is a robust indicator/anticipator of complimentary organizational performance which undoubtedly indicating a bipartite relationship between employer and employee. Committed workers are psychologically devoted towards the organization and strongly engaged in their job with great commitment. This study aims to review how employee engagement enhances performances.
