📄 Abstract
Employee engagement is emerging as a critical organizational issue especially as businesses are recovering from the trauma of the global recession. Employee engagement has been an area of interest among many researchers and it had received a greater recognition among firms. Therefore, there is a need for organizations to evaluate the level of engagement among their employees. This study aims to examine the impact of organizational support practices on employee engagement in oil and gas servicing companies. The data used in this study consist of questionnaire responses from employees in oil and gas servicing companies. A sample size of 322 was obtained out of 2034 population size using the Krejcie and Morgan sample size determination table. A total of 322 questionnaires were sent out and 283 valid responses were received. In this study, Spearmanâ??s Rank Order Correlation Coefficient was used to test the research hypotheses. We concluded that organizational support practices significantly influence employee engagement. Therefore, it was recommended that management should focus on both internal and external support in a bid to influence employeesâ?? willingness to engage in work.
