Literature Review
One of the essential resources of an organization is its employees. Worldwide there is rise in
the skill war and hence every company needs to confirm that besides appealing excellent
talent they need to retain these skilled employees. Employee Retention in a company is not
just enough as one employee might be talented but may lack the passion for his/her work.
According to Pandita and Bedarkar (2014), the hardest encounters facing human resource,
business leaders, and Chief Executive officers, of various companies is to confirm that the
time employees report to their job daily they do not just need to be available there physically
but also emotionally and mentally. This reflects that company should confirm that their
workers are involved so that they can add something positively towards the attainment of
goals of the organization. Kahn (1990) is the father of movement of employee engagement
distinct it as “hitching of members of the organization’ selves to their roles of work; in the
engagement of worker and show themselves emotionally, substantially, and cognitively
during job performances. Through this, Kahn inferred that a worker has to exist both
psychologically and physically while executing organizational roles.
