Prof. Dr. Management Personnel management Employee competitive behavior Employee engagement Employee Doctor of Philosophy in Management Employee engagement has received a great deal of attention in the last decade from popular business press, including consulting firms and practitioner community. They claim that employee engagement is a new human resource practice that can be used by business organisations in order to cope with the uncertainty of competitive industrial conditions. However, in the academic community, the concept is still new. Therefore, the concept requires rigorous seminal studies for it to be validated. Given that practical interest in employee engagement which has outstripped the currently available research evidence, fundamental questions as which variables contribute the most to employee engagement and how and why they benefit individuals and organisations, still remain unanswered. To examine this issue, grounded by Kahn’s psychological conditions theory, job resources theory, employee commitment theory, leadership styles theory and employee trust theory, this study proposes a new framework by decomposing employee engagement. A total of 400 assistant registrars from twenty public universities in Malaysia participated in this study. Data were collected through questionnaires (survey monkey hyperlink). The Partial Least Squares approach to Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was the main statistical technique employed in this study. The findings of the study revealed that psychological safety, rewards and recognition, employee development, affective commitment, employee trust, normative commitment and leadership styles were found to have a significant relationship with employee engagement. The psychological meaningfulness, psychological availability, employee communication and continuance commitment were not found to have any significant effect on employee engagement. The moderating variables (age, and length of service) were found to have partially significant relationship with employee engagement. This study has successfully developed a framework, PREALEN, which can be used by future researchers and practitioners to measure employee engagement. 2017 2023-03-07T01:38:05Z 2023-03-07T01:38:05Z Thesis http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/78030 en Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) School of Business Innovation and Technopreneurship
