Influence of Employee Engagement on Organizational Performance: A Case Study of the County Government of Kakamega, Kenya
Abstract
Employee engagement has emerged as a crucial factor influencing organizational performance, particularly in the public sector. This study examines the influence of employee engagement on organizational performance in the County Government of Kakamega, Kenya. A descriptive survey research design was adopted, targeting a population of 2,913 employees. A sample of 352 employees was selected using stratified random sampling, and data was collected using a structured self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between employee engagement and organizational performance (r = 0.68, p < 0.01). Employee engagement was found to be a significant predictor of organizational performance (? = 0.64, p < 0.001), even after controlling for demographic factors. The study highlights the importance of fostering employee engagement to enhance organizational performance in the public sector and provides recommendations for the County Government of Kakamega to improve engagement levels and address areas of concern. Future research could explore specific job resources and demands influencing engagement in the context of county governments in Kenya and employ qualitative methods to gain deeper insights into employees' experiences.
