Employee engagement has emerged as a key determinant of job satisfaction in modern organizations. Engaged employees are more committed, motivated, and involved in their work, which positively influences their satisfaction levels. This study examines the impact of employee engagement on job satisfaction among employees using a sample of 95 respondents. A structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data, and the responses were analyzed using statistical tools such as correlation and regression analysis. The main objective of the study is to identify the relationship between employee engagement and job satisfaction and to measure the extent of its impact.
The findings reveal a strong positive relationship between employee engagement and job satisfaction (r = 0.729). The regression analysis indicates that employee engagement explains 53.2% of the variation in job satisfaction (R² = 0.532), and the relationship is statistically significant (F = 104.591, p < 0.05). The results further show that higher levels of employee engagement lead to increased job satisfaction among employees. The study concludes that employee engagement plays a crucial role in enhancing job satisfaction and recommends that organizations focus on strengthening engagement practices such as recognition, communication, and employee involvement to improve overall workplace outcomes.
