Evidence From Public Universities in Sri Lanka About Organizational Culture and Employee Engagement

Abstract

Employee engagement has become a buzz word in the management circles. The reason is the outcomes of employee engagement such as employee job performance and organizational financial performance. Universities have a fundamental segment in the society because they shape the students with education. This study unearths an empirical as well as a population gap that there is no empirical evidence between the relationship between organizational culture and employee engagement in the public universities in the Sri Lankan context. Identified research gap was bridged with a quantitative study, and the unit of analysis is individual (i.e., lecturers in the Sri Lankan public universities). The type of investigation is correlational. This cross-sectional study was done with minimum researcher interference in a non-contrived study setting.
