Abstract

The profound influence of human capital on the success and growth of any organisation is momentous and cannot be unheeded in the contemporary business world. In this direction, the present paper reviews the organisational paradigms of employees' work engagement and attempts to relate it with organisational effectiveness. The study was designed to generate and test a hypothesised model colligating between the constituents of engagement namely vigour, dedication, and absorption and the organisational effectiveness. A survey-based study was conducted in 27 IT organisations across the national capital region (NCR), India. The sample size for the study comprised 304 Indian IT professionals. Data analysis, performed using structural equation modelling (SEM) approach, revealed that work engagement in terms of vigour, dedication, and absorption is significantly associated with organisational effectiveness in that it also entails a positive impact upon the effectiveness of a firm. The association is further explored to highlight the affective-motivational underpinnings through which employees' increased level of engagement is likely to elevate organisational effectiveness.
