Abstract

The primary objective of this research article is to study the drivers of employee engagement especially the influence of leadership style. The article has used a multi-cross-sectional descriptive design. The empirical study is based on the data collected from 340 front-line employees from five organizations across the service sector in the Delhi—National Capital Region (NCR). The results from this study reveal significant relationships between leadership styles and employee engagement. A moderating influence of age and education was also found in the relationship between leadership styles and employee engagement. The study highlights the importance and the significant role of employee engagement and the role leadership styles play in developing a culture of engagement. Appropriate leadership styles and human resource (HR) practices that drive engagement need to be fostered in organizations to drive performance. The instruments used for the study are Multi-factor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5X Short Rater Form) for leadership style and E3 (Development Dimensions International [DDI]) to capture employee engagement.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
