A Multilevel Investigation of the Factors Influencing Work Engagement

The present study utilizes a multilevel approach to investigate the relative impact of individual (psychological climate, occupational self-efficacy) and organizational (human resource development climate quality and climate strength) factors on employees' work engagement. In addition, the study attempts to unfurl the mechanisms underlying the relationships among study variables by proposing and testing cross-level mediation and moderation hypotheses. Data were collected from a total of 375 employees nested within 30 different business organizations in India. Study hypotheses were tested using hierarchical linear modeling and bootstrapping techniques. Results of the study provide significant insights into dynamics of relationship among study variables.
