| dc.description.abstract | This study aims to examine the effect of flexible working hours, workload, and supportive organizational culture on employee engagement in GIZ, with a focus on the mediating role of work-life balance and the moderating role of technological advancements. The research addresses a critical gap in understanding how workplace dynamics and technological progress influence employee engagement, a vital factor for organizational success. Using a quantitative research design and a descriptive approach, the study analyzed primary data collected through structured questionnaires from a sample of 275 GIZ employees selected via stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using correlation, regression, and mediation-moderation analyses. The findings revealed that flexible working hours (B = 0.373, p < 0.001) and supportive organizational culture (B = 0.564, p < 0.001) positively and significantly affect employee engagement, while workload (B = -0.122, p < 0.05) negatively impacts engagement. Work-life balance was found to partially mediate the relationship between workplace factors and employee engagement, enhancing its positive effects and mitigating negative ones. Technological advancements significantly moderated the relationship, strengthening the influence of work-life balance on engagement. These results underscore the importance of fostering flexible work arrangements, reducing excessive workload, and creating a supportive organizational culture to enhance engagement. The study concludes that organizations like GIZ should prioritize work-life balance initiatives, leverage technological advancements to support employee well-being, and address workload challenges to improve engagement levels. Recommendations include implementing targeted interventions such as flexible scheduling, employee support programs, and workload management strategies, as well as exploring innovative technologies to create a conducive work environment. Future research should expand the scope by incorporating longitudinal studies, mixed-methods approaches, and additional variables to provide a comprehensive understanding of employee engagement dynamics. | |
