Understanding Employee Engagement: A Proposed Framework for Employees at Multinational Corporations (MNCs) in Malaysia

The objective of this study is to examine the efficacy of several elements that may impact employee engagement in multinational corporations (MNCs) in Malaysia. Employee engagement is a crucial determinant that impacts employee performance, accomplishment, and continuous enhancement over a year. Multinational corporations (MNCs) face the challenge of efficiently managing a diverse workforce consisting of persons from various cultures, races, and with varying expectations, as a result of their economic growth. There is a lack of research on employee engagement in multinational corporations (MNCs), particularly in Malaysia. This study includes many independent variables, such as work-life balance, transformational leadership, and flexible work arrangements which give impacts on employee engagement. Previous research has shown a substantial correlation between the independent variables and employee engagement. The results from previous research demonstrated a strong correlation and connection between employee engagement and transformational leadership across all industries. Regarding the independent variable of work- life balance, it has shown a clear positive association with work-life balance. Furthermore, there is a strong and direct correlation between employee engagement and the use of flexible working arrangements in firms.
