Assessing the Factors influencing Employee Job Engagement in the NGO Sector of Sindh

Abstract

Employee Engagement is a prominent focus across sectors to understand the various factors that influence employees’ motivation and job involvement. Employee engagement means that a worker is fully absorbed in the job, experiencing a sense of energy, passion, and enthusiasm toward job activities. While its significance is well recognized, empirical research on the factors influencing employee engagement in the NGO sector of Sindh, Pakistan, remains scarce. The objective of this research is to investigate the impacts of job rewards, job autonomy, goal setting, career development, and perceived supervisor support on employee job engagement. By addressing this gap, the study seeks to provide actionable insights for enhancing employee engagement practices in this underexplored sector. The data were collected from 145 participants from the NGO Sector of Sindh, Pakistan. The data were analyzed using SPSS Version 27. The results revealed that there is a positive influence of job rewards, job autonomy, goal setting, career development, and perceived supervisor support on employee job engagement. To improve job engagement in the NGO sector, it is essential to strengthen areas such as reward systems, work autonomy, clear objectives, professional growth opportunities, and supportive leadership. By effectively implementing these strategies, organizations can foster a highly engaged, motivated, committed, and productive workforce that is aligned with their objectives, ultimately driving long-term success and growth.
