Employee engagement is the degree to which employees are emotionally committed to their organization's goals and willing to go beyond the minimum required effort in their work. It is driven primarily by the quality of the manager relationship, visibility of career growth, sense of purpose in the work, and the degree of psychological safety within the team — not by perks or compensation levels, which are hygiene factors rather than engagement drivers. The most common organizational misconception is treating engagement as a survey score to be improved rather than an outcome of management quality and organizational culture: improving the number without addressing the underlying drivers produces short-term score improvement that reverses within two quarters.
