Employee engagement is a vast construct that touches almost all parts of human resource management facets weknow hitherto. If every part of human resources is not addressed in appropriate manner, employees fail to fullyengage themselves in their job in the response to such kind of mismanagement. The construct employeeengagement is built on the foundation of earlier concepts like job satisfaction, employee commitment andOrganizational citizenship behaviour. Though it is related to and encompasses these concepts, employeeengagement is broader in scope. Employee engagement is stronger predictor of positive organizationalperformance clearly showing the two-way relationship between employer and employee compared to the threeearlier constructs: job satisfaction, employee commitment and organizational citizenship behaviour. Engagedemployees are emotionally attached to their organization and highly involved in their job with a great enthusiasmfor the success of their employer, going extra mile beyond the employment contractual agreement.
