The Impact

Employee engagement and retention is a promising area in management as well as psychology. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of employee engagement (EE) on their retention (ER). We proposed a theoretical framework model explaining how employee engagement affects their retention. The original model linked engagement with control at work (CAW) and general well-being (GWB) through psychological capital (PsyCap). We extended this model by linking CAW and GWB to employee retention. We further added job satisfaction (JS) as a mediator between EE and ER. To establish its empirical validity, we conducted a survey from 200 employees working in different companies in Pakistan by using a close ended likert scale type questionnaire. Data was analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Findings suggested a positive significant relationship between EE and ER. PsyCap, CAW and JS play a significant mediator role for EE and ER, only GWB does not mediates the relationship between EE and ER. This research will help in understanding how to retain employees and mounting their psychological capital through training and development, since when employees will be happy and motivated, they can perform well and will have job satisfaction. As a result, the level of intention of employees to leave would be low. This study is preliminary the first to investigate the association between EE and ER through many other constructs (PsyCap, CAW, GWB and JS) in the Pakistani context.

Orientation: Research regarding subjective well-being (including life satisfaction and domain-specific satisfaction) is necessary, given the effects thereof on health, work performance, social relationships and ethical behaviour of employees.Research purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationships among life satisfaction, job satisfaction and wage satisfaction, as well as how these relationships related to gross wage category in a South African sample.Motivation for the study: While research has shown that wage level and wage satisfaction are positively associated with both job and life satisfaction, the question arises whether wage level and satisfaction would compensate for the negative effect of a dissatisfying job on life satisfaction.Research approach/design and method: A cross-sectional design was used. A non-probability convenience sample (N = 763) in the form of the WageIndicator data set was obtained. Hierarchical log-linear analyses and cross-tabulations were carried out to determine the relationships that existed among the constructs.Main findings: Although job satisfaction and wage satisfaction were strongly related at a low level of wage satisfaction, fewer people were satisfied with their jobs at a high level of wage satisfaction level. Moreover, while job and life satisfaction were strongly related at a low level of job satisfaction level, relatively fewer people were satisfied with their lives at a high level of job satisfaction level. Wage dissatisfaction was associated with dissatisfaction with life but was more strongly associated with life satisfaction at a high level of wage satisfaction. Wage category and wage satisfaction did not interact with the job satisfaction level in affecting life satisfaction.Practical/managerial implications: Managers should attend to the perceptions of wage dissatisfaction at low wage and wage satisfaction levels. Such dissatisfaction may have a negative impact on the job and life satisfaction of employees and result in detrimental effects on employees and organisations.Contribution/value-add: This study contributes to scientific knowledge regarding the relationships between wage, wage satisfaction, job dissatisfaction and life satisfaction.

Intrinsic Job Satisfaction

The Problem In today’s dynamic environment, organizations face difficulties in retaining their talented employees. Although there are several studies that link job satisfaction with work engagement, a closer examination is needed to understand whether it is intrinsic or extrinsic job satisfaction that enhances work engagement. This shows that the job satisfaction is the key driver of work engagement. So, the purpose of this article is to study the level of job satisfaction among the managers at various hierarchical levels of private sector banks in India and also to study the relationship between job satisfaction and work engagement among managers at various hierarchical levels. The Solution This study follows the descriptive research design, and data were collected by standardized questionnaire developed by Minnesota and by Schaufeli’s Satisfaction Questionnaire, and data were collected from the 148 managers at various hierarchical levels working in private sector banks in India. To attain the objectives, the descriptive statistics and regression analysis have been used. The results show that the managers who are working in private sector banks are more satisfied with intrinsic job satisfaction rather than extrinsic job satisfaction and also found that there is positive relationship between job satisfaction and work engagement among managers at various hierarchical levels of private sector banks in India. The limitation of this study is data were collected at a single point of time. The Stakeholders Stakeholders of this study include private sector bank managers at various hierarchical levels and human resource managers of organizations having hierarchical management system where management is focused toward employee satisfaction and retention in the organization. Consultation agencies dealing in human resource practices, research agencies, and research scholars are other stakeholders as it will be literature for further studies.
