Engagement is a consistent characteristic depicted by the employee that can strengthen the organisation by means of regular commitment, advocacy, dedication and discretionary effort. It is shown through the optimal use of talents and furnishing support towards the accomplishment of organisation’s goals and values. Engaged employees inculcate a sense of belonging to their organisation. Such employees invest themselves completely in their work role together with the organisation as a whole. Employee engagement is a pertinent factor in determining the success of an organization in terms of its profitability, productivity, and brand image etc. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the relationship between organizational culture (as conceptualised on OCTAPACE dimensions) and the employee engagement across the employees of educational institutions. The study also explores the impact of various demographic and organizational variables on employee engagement. It uses a cross-sectional research design with a questionnaire survey for data collection on a sample of 600 respondents. The findings indicate that the OCTAPACE dimensions such as trust, collaboration, openness, authenticity and confrontation impact the employee engagement along with the demographic and organizational variables such as employees’ family type, experience in the organization, caring responsibilities and educational qualification.

Abstract


Engagement is a consistent characteristic depicted by the employee that can strengthen the organisation by means of regular commitment, advocacy, dedication and discretionary effort. It is shown through the optimal use of talents and furnishing support towards the accomplishment of organisation’s goals and values. Engaged employees inculcate a sense of belonging to their organisation. Such employees invest themselves completely in their work role together with the organisation as a whole. Employee engagement is a pertinent factor in determining the success of an organization in terms of its profitability, productivity, and brand image etc. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the relationship between organizational culture (as conceptualised on OCTAPACE dimensions) and the employee engagement across the employees of educational institutions. The study also explores the impact of various demographic and organizational variables on employee engagement. It uses a cross-sectional research design with a questionnaire survey for data collection on a sample of 600 respondents. The findings indicate that the OCTAPACE dimensions such as trust, collaboration, openness, authenticity and confrontation impact the employee engagement along with the demographic and organizational variables such as employees’ family type, experience in the organization, caring responsibilities and educational qualification.
