| dc.description.abstract | Employee Engagement is the key focus of any organization in gaining competitive advantage. In spite of its appreciating benefit of Employee Engagement; it didn’t get any considerable attention from the side of private hospital management. Thus assessment of employee engagement and identifying the contributing factors for workplace engagement are important to be able to deliver quality care. A quantitative research approach was conducted through the use of questionnaire provided predominantly descriptive data in selected private hospitals, Addis Ababa, in the year 2018, that included all the permanent employees of Doctors, Nurses, Laboratory technologists, Radiography professionals and pharmacists. The researcher used a simple random sampling technique, and calculated as 225, A total of 230 questionnaires were distributed and 207 collected with the response rate of 90%. Engagement scores were categorized into very low, low, Average, high and very high categories. Correlation analysis was done between engagement score and engagement factors. To examine these factors and to identify the association, the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics which included mean and standard deviation; one-way ANOVA, reliability test, Pearson correlation analysis and regression analysis. The mean score of employee engagement was found to be 4.87; this indicates the existence of a high level of engagement. The One-way ANOVA analysis indicates there are differences in the level of employee engagement between employees who have different experiences. And except for organization justice, all variable used in the regression were positively affect employee engagement. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that employee engagement is significantly affected by Job characteristics, perceived organization support and reward and recognition. This would help these hospitals to identify how these factors are operating currently and work on them to improve the level of employee engagement of their organization. Hence, the hospital management should give high emphasis on these factors to improve the employee engagement which ultimately affect the performance of the organization | en_US |
