IMPACT OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AND WAGES IN ORGANIZATION ON
PRODUCTIVITY 3
Refined Problem Statement
Different researchers have denoted that more attention should be paid on the productivity
of organization because when workers receive low wages and are not engaged in operation, it
always lead to decrease in operations of organization. Employee engagement together with
wages has remained to be the very popular concept during the last decades (Shahid, 2019).
Several organizations have been trying to figure out if their employees are engaged and how to
make them engaged in operations by using diverse surveys along with devices to stay
competitive and improve organizations’ performances. Low engagement and low rates of wages
have become the important issues in operations of organization that need a quick response.
Several organizations have concentrated on attaining appropriate operational techniques to
support operations of organization (Hara, 2014). The need to design a successful rewarding
system to maintain employees engaged and productive have been a major issue that affects
productivity of most organizations.
Most organizations concentrate on attaining different deadlines in their operations instead
of concentrating on the level of worker engagement alongside their wages. Organizations and
their managements tend to forget that it is vital for different workers to be enthusiastic
concerning what they are undertaking (Fernando, Caputi, & Ashbury, 2017). For instance, some
management tends to engage employee to contribute a lot to more to productivity of organization
than disengaged workers. Every human resource department within an organization works by
implementing several strategies to improve engagement of workers and wages so that they can in
return attain high levels in operation. The major concern of such administration has been to
create best approaches to make workers satisfied and happy during their involvement in

operations (Allen, Turner, & Turner, 2018). The other focuses by management of organizations
have been to improve experiences of customers so that they can have huge customer base.

impacts that employees’ engagement and wages have on productivity of organization. More
particularly, this survey aims at giving appropriate answers to different questions. The major
research question in this examination includes:

well-planned questionnaires and techniques of observing significance indicators on influence of
worker engagement alongside wages in productivity of corporation. The sources of information
in the study will be driven by different organizations that greatly depend on the engagement of
workers in their day-to-day operations on improving their productivity (Mondal & Mondal,
2018). The sample population will comprise of managerial together with educational workers at
different public universities. The selection of sample in the study of 870 managerial together

Research Project Justification
Relation of employee engagement and wages in productivity of organization has attracted
considerable attention in the present business society. The impact that such relation of employees
and productivity of organization remains to be uncertain particularly in different markets
different organizations greatly suffer from different impacts when there are changes in
employees’ engagement and wages (Gallant & Martins, 2018). This proposal is conducted by
reviewing different literature work that exists together with feedback attained from different
managers through surveys and questionnaires. The outcomes that are received from the use of
such techniques of collection of necessary data aimed at assisting in provision of much-needed
understanding on how employee engagement and wages affect productivity of different
organizations. Additionally, results of this survey target at assisting different organizations
together with their management to improve their productivity by improving the wages and
engagement of different employees in their operations (Aziri, 2019). For instance, when different
elements that relate to organization productivity such as employee engagement alongside wages
are well addressed by this study, then different managers of various organizations will improve
their operations. Such managers will be able to improve the way they treat their workers and how
they provide wages to their workers with aim of increasing their productivity (Hanaysha, 2016).
Moreover, this study will be essential in present business society as it will concentrate on
providing vital understanding and knowledge of how different organizations can improve their
productivity.

Potential Outputs of this study
It is anticipated that the outcomes of this survey will pave the best way for different
authorities of different organizations to accept the variables that affect the working engagement
and wages of employees. Such acceptance could be used to enhance the working conditions of
workers in different organizations (Yunus & Ernawati, 2018). Besides, outcomes of this research
will visualize that the outcomes of the survey will allow different organizations to understand
how to addresses different concerns that relate with employees. The organization and its
management will be able to understand issues concerning working setting and to consider correct
wage allocation as the essential aspect in improving productivity of organization. Therefore, this
study serves as essential reference material for prospect researches on how employee
engagement alongside wages affects productivity of an organization (Saran, 2014). Through the
findings in this study, they will aid in throwing more light on different factors that affect
productivity of employees as far as their environments are concerned. The survey is expected to
offer appropriate measures together with knowledge to enhance working conditioned of workers
for better productivity of an organization (Moreland, 2013). The study will help in providing a
comparative understanding of different advantages and disadvantages of improving employees’
engagement and wages in productivity of organization.
Conceptual Framework
Commitment of workers in operations is the passion, devotion of workers, as well as
effective skills with support from the team of top management of organization to the workers.
Human resource leaders of various organizations set the drive and creed of their organization and

IMPACT OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AND WAGES IN ORGANIZATION ON
PRODUCTIVITY 8
spread that positive morale to the workers in the organization (Lohr & Zhu, 2015). Workforce is
the only aspects that cannot be copied or replicated by rivals and is measured as the most
essential asset if administered and engaged well. Besides, non-monetary together with monetary
results of laborforce are clearly linked to workers and business presentation alongside their
successes. However, there are various functions of management that can stand out as the
determinants of engagement of employee (Nienaber, 2019). Other functions comprise of top
worker management and their relationships, possibility for professional advancements, and
orientation or group efforts. Therefore, for improvement in production of organization, different
managers need to offer appropriate focus to understanding, abilities, and capacities of their
workers (Yang, Konrad, & Corbett, 2018). By engaging employee in different operations of
organization, it becomes the significant managerial concern that needs to be strong given
massive consideration. Such consideration should be offered by administration of the
organization in present state of demanding business settings.
Employee engagement
Several studies have in past days concentrated their examination son employee
engagement together with its impact on outcome of organization and little exists on the
relationship of engagement alongside performance of individual. The studies, however, have
concluded that engagement of workers performs an essential purpose in the competitive merit of
the corporation. For instance, Shahid (2019) described employee engagement to be expressive
commitment worker has on corporation along with its targets. It then results in the utilization o
discretionary effort. Recent past studies such as the one conducted by Saran (2014) had

PRODUCTIVITY 9
established that employee commitment had major constructive influence on output of an
organization. It denoted that victorious and highly creative business can be attained by
connecting its workers in enhancing their presentation. Conversely, Sendawula, Nakyejwe,
Bananuka, & Najjemba (2018) conducted a meta-examination of data from different business
units and first that represents diverse regions and established that commitment of employees had
huge positive influence on improved rate of output.
Employee commitment is major principal of business concerns for most executives of
organization. As stated by Nienaber (2019), engagement of workers relies on their views and
assessments of their experiences of operating within an organization. The evaluation of working
experience comprises of employer, organizational manager, job assigned to employee itself, and
business setting. Marcum (2015) advice in order to enhance commitment of workers, managers
is needed to concentrate on to different abilities, talents, along with knowledge of their workers.
The researcher further stated that when workers are alert of their capabilities, as well as strength,
their engagement level will be higher, and such condition ultimately leads to improved
productivity of organization. Hanaysha (2016) and Aziri (2019) confirmed that work
commitment can be revealed through behavioural pleasure, energy, involvement, with efficacy.
Allen, Turner, & Turner (2018) on the other side argued that commitment of workers outcomes
from their pleasure and work inspiration. Therefore, it is evident from these researchers that
worker engagement comprises of different definitions. For instance, Moreland (2013) denoted
that worker engagement to be the capacity to capture the hearts, heads, and souls of employers
by the workers to inspire intrinsic passion along with desires for quality. Certain researchers
have observed commitment of employees to be the construct that comprises of cognitive,

IMPACT OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AND WAGES IN ORGANIZATION ON
PRODUCTIVITY 10
behavioural, and emotional aspects that are linked to the function of employee performance
(Kang, Yu, & Lee, 2016). Therefore, engagement of workers reflects the commitment as well as
involvement of the workers towards their works it aims at improving performance and
productivity of an organization. Recent past studies such as the one conducted by Gallant &
Martins (2018) had established that employee commitment had major constructive influence on
output of an organization. It denoted that victorious and highly creative business can be attained
by connecting its workers in enhancing their presentation. Conversely, Goergen, O'Sullivan, &
Wood (2014) conducted a meta-examination of data from different business units and first that
represents diverse regions and established that commitment of employees had huge positive
influence on improved rate of output.
Wages on productivity of organization
While several workers claim that satisfaction of job, as well as intelligence of function,
guide their productivity, wages also perform distinctive purpose in how best organization and
workers perform. Incentive pay in line with quantity of delivered work rather than on the amount
of duration spent on the given tasks especially beneficial for improving productivity of
organization. At the same moment, some researchers have recorded that pay is not the lone
element that influences output of organization. Yang, Konrad, & Corbett (2018) stated that one
of the major reasons why an individual becomes an employee or the labor of organization is to
earn the income in a form of wages or compensation. However, organization on their side
expects that each worker that they employ can help their operations to meet their set objectives
and mission of operations by improving their productivity (Hara, 2014). High wages make

PRODUCTIVITY 11
workers to perform to their potential as they will be happy with the earning that they receive.
Therefore, employees that earn higher salary tend to feel motivated to perform their assigned
duties, as they want to please their employers to retain them in their positions. Well paid
employees tend to feel valued by their organizations. They always understand that management
of organization is not just paying to a given job completed, but they feel respected because of
their subject matter expertise. Such highly rewarded employees are more probable to be satisfied
with their job and feel no need to search for a similar position and at the same time helping
organization to improve in its productivity. The retained workers in operations help the
management of an organization to have effective planning techniques for future operations with
their retained workers (Goergen, O'Sullivan, & Wood, 2014). Hence, wages remain as one of the
motivational element in improving productivity of an organization (Allen, Turner, & Turner
2018). Wages become an essential element of being effective if connected to organization
performance significantly. Hara (2014) argued that for wages of employees to improve
productivity of organization, then it must maintain equity, competitiveness and matching
expectations of workers. It must also maintain the idea of reinforcing positive behaviour of
workers as well as eliminating any form of discrepancies within the operations.
Methodology
The survey followed quantitative research technique for gathering appropriate records
from respondents. The use of quantitative research model for data collection comprised of
different methods (Jamshed, 2014). Such methods comprised of use of survey through
administration of well-planned questionnaires that were to be filled by targeted respondents
during the study. Additional to administration of questionnaires during the study, another method

PRODUCTIVITY 12
used for gathering of essential data during examination is observation. Observation techniques
involved the idea of observing critical indicators of how wages and engagement of workers
affects productivity of an organization. In specifically, website review was directed to eight
hundred and seventy managerial along with educational employees within different public
universities. Scales of dimension of constructs in this study were embraced as well tailored from
prior examinations in ensuring that each respondent can simply get to have appropriate
understanding of them and go well with structure of this assessment (Lyman, 2015). Surveyor
dispersion of appropriate number of well-planned questionnaires to study respondents and just
two hundred and seventy-one persuasive questionnaires were received for assessment duty. Idea
or course utilized in choosing the example was expediency sampling. As per research’s outcome,
it illustrates that there exist essential linkage between worker commitments along with
performance of worker that head to improve business productivity (Yunus & Ernawati, 2018).
Consequently, managers and directors of different organizations should put plenty concentration
on work appointment and often assess progress of their labor force to assurance improve
operations of their corporation (Omair, 2014). Obtaining trained workers is just not enough in
present's varying marketplace. However, instead, several marketplaces need to be valued to
preserve, engage as well as maintain them devoted to corporation along with its objectives.
Data analysis
The data, as well as information gathered from different literature reviews, questionnaire,
observations, and interviews, will be scrutinized thoroughly by utilizing different mixed
methods. Such techniques will comprise of quantitative as well as qualitative techniques of
