ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to investigate what are the determinants of employee engagement in banking sector of Pakistan. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection of data from respondents working in banking sector on five-point Likert scale. The results of confirmatory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis indicate that the core self-evaluation and service environment of organization are positively and significantly related with employee engagement. As a result, this research attempts to fill the gap about the lack of academic literature on employee's engagement in Pakistani context. Findings of this research do have practical implications for banking sector, mainly for their human resources department as how they can increase the engagement of employees in banking sector. Low sample size is limitation in generalizing the results of this study. Sample size may be increased and this study should be tested in other regions as well.
