Employee Engagement: Role of Demographical Variables

The objective of the study is to examine the similarities or differences that Professional tenure, Marital status and Gender could impose on Employee engagement, among the employees working in IT and ITeS sectors. It is hypothesised that the employees working in IT and ITeS sectors would remain to be homogeneous on Professional tenure, Marital status and Genderon Employee engagement. The study was conducted at Kerala state among the employees working in IT and ITeS companies, having offices in Trichur, Calicut, Cochin and Trivandrum. Samples were drawn using systematic random sampling from the NASSCOM registered companies. It is observed that Professional tenure, Marital Status and Gender differ significantly on the scores of Employee engagement whereas sector (IT and ITeS) failed to differentiate. Factorial analysis conducted to identify the impact of ‘Gender and Professional tenure’ as well as ‘Martial status and Professional tenure’, both, differentiates on the scores of Employee engagement.
