The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of occupational self efficacy and
its factors on employee engagement. The survey was completed by 78 middle
and senior level executives in select Indian organizations from both private and
public sectors. The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and Occupational SelfEfficacy Scale were used. The results clearly show that occupational self efficacy
is correlated positively and is a significant predictor of employee engagement.
The six factors of occupational self efficacy were all significantly related to
employee engagement. Of the six factors of occupational self efficacy confidence
was found to be most strong predictor of employee engagement. The small
sample size of poses a limit to the extent, to which results can be generalized.
This study has demonstrated the importance of occupational self efficacy in
enhancing the engagement level of employees. Thus the managers can plan
the interventions accordingly to enhance the employee engagement. This paper
enhances one’s knowledge of factors linked to employee engagement
