Keywords:
Employee Engagement, Organizational Performance, Software Industry, Regression AnalysisAbstract
Employee engagement has emerged as a critical determinant of organizational performance, particularly in knowledge-intensive industries such as the software sector. This study examines the relationship between employee engagement and organizational performance among selected software companies in Bangalore, namely Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), ABB India, Cisco Systems, Adobe, and Oracle. Using a descriptive and analytical research design, primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 450 employees, of which 398 valid responses were retained for final analysis. The study employs descriptive statistics, Cronbach’s alpha, correlation, and regression analysis using SPSS software. The findings reveal a high level of employee engagement among respondents, with organizational commitment emerging as the strongest engagement dimension. Reliability analysis confirms strong internal consistency of the measurement scales. Correlation analysis indicates a strong and statistically significant positive relationship between employee engagement and organizational performance (r = 0.682, p < 0.01). Regression results further demonstrate that employee engagement significantly predicts organizational performance, explaining 37.3% of the variance. The study confirms that engaged employees contribute positively to productivity, efficiency, and overall organizational effectiveness. The findings highlight the strategic importance of fostering employee engagement to enhance performance and sustain competitiveness in Bangalore’s dynamic software industry.
