EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT SYSTEM: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM THE SRI LANKAN BANKING SECTOR

Abstract

Employee engagement builds positive attitudes toward the organization. According to researchers, no studies have examined the mediated relationship of employee engagement between high-performing work practices, religiosity, personal character, leadership and work-life balance, and performance in banking. Two hundred managers were randomly selected from banks in Sri Lanka, and data were collected using a structured online questionnaire. The results showed a mediating relationship of employee engagement between high performance practices, religiosity, and job performance. The results of this study add new insights to systems theory and are necessary for policymakers and practitioners to improve performance in the banking sector.
