Abstract

The objective of this study was to critically evaluate the relationship between employee behaviours and engagement in organisations’ internal environment. This objective was achieved in the context of Adeeb Group. Combination of primary and secondary data was used in achieving the objectives. In terms of primary data, questionnaires were carried out among the employees of Adeeb Group. Findings showed that among components of engagement, participants obtained the highest level on vigour; followed by dedication, and the lowest levels were obtained for absorption. In fact, the results revealed that employees’ level of engagement was low, especially for absorption. In terms of employee relations, it was found that even though the communication between employees is regarded as better than the communication with organisation, employees do not think that it is good whereas these communications should be open. Employee growth responses also revealed that even though the opportunities provided for training and development is regarded as better than the opportunities for career growth, most of the employees do not think that the organisation supports growth of its members. The findings related to commitment showed that most of the participants were not satisfied about some politics of the organisation.
