Abstract:
Employee engagement is considered as a vital issue to the practitioners for smooth
operations of their business concerns. Thus, the study is conducted to measure the
influence of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices as an antecedent of
employee engagement. This study collected data from 392 operational level
employees through survey method who is working at different garment factories in
Bangladesh. The collected data were analyzed through structural equation modeling
to partial least square method. The study empirically proves that employee
compensation and employee promotion opportunity have significant influence on the
employees’ engagement level. This study has both theoretical and practical
implications in the context of ready-made garment industry in Bangladesh since
employee engagement regarded as comparatively new concept in the developing
context. The practitioners and policy makers of the organization are expected to make
necessary adjustments in their existing HRM practices on the basis of the results of
this model in the context of developing economy like Bangladesh for enhancing the
employee engagement level so that their whole-hearted efforts can be ensured for the
smooth operations of business.
