Abstract

Improving the employee engagement level for optimum utilization of human assets is a challenge most of the IT organisations face in today's intensely competitive environment. This study aims to establish the relationships between career development, professional contentment and job enrichment on employee engagement level. The research methodology used in this research is descriptive research. In primary data, responses are collected through well framed questionnaires and direct interaction with the employees to selected sample of 550 respondents of information technology organisations in Bangalore city. The results of the study indicate that professional contentment, career development and job enrichment explained 81% of the variation in employee engagement level. Since the P value is less than 0.01, it can be inferred that the linkage between professional contentment, career development and job enrichment and employee engagement level is statistically significant. All three factors are having positive relationship with EEL (for PC β=0.22, P<0.01, for CD β=0.26, P<0.01 and for JE, β=0.52, P<0.01). The contribution of Job enrichment is more on EEL. The average score of career development is high compare to other two factors of employee engagement for low level of employee engagement.
