A Study on Employee Engagement Strategies and their influence on Organizational Commitment among IT Employees in Tamil Nadu

Abstract

The significance of employee engagement to organizational success and stability is growing among IT employees in Tamil Nadu's changing business environment. Although employee engagement strategies have been implemented by organizations in areas including team work, open communication, recognition and training, there are still differences in the consistency and the long term effect on organizational commitment. Therefore this research explores the linkages between employee engagement strategies, psychological engagement and organizational commitment, and assesses the ability of employee engagement strategies to predict organizational commitment among IT employees. A quantitative-descriptive research design was employed. Primary data were collected from 131 IT employees using convenience sampling method. The study's findings also reveal that there are considerable to high levels of employee engagement in terms of ‘Teamwork and collaboration’ (Mean= 3.809) and ‘Pride in Organization’ (Mean = 3.870). Additionally, organizational commitment averaged 3.609. These results indicate the necessity of establishing formal processes for employee engagement to increase job stability among IT employees.
