Employee Engagement in Ethiopia as a Result of Corporate Ethos

Abstract

This study's goal is to evaluate the impact of corporate culture on employee engagement. The researchers adopted a quantitative research strategy while using an explanatory research design. Stratified Random Sampling Technique was used to select 245 respondents from across all strata as sample respondents using the probability sampling methodology. A structured, self-administered questionnaire was created to gather data from respondents, and 230 questionnaires were used in total. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyse the data. Pearson According to correlation analysis, there was a statistically significant positive association between workers' engagement and each of the four corporate ethos components (i.e., involvement, consistency, flexibility, and mission). Additionally, compared to the other dimensions, adaptability had a stronger positive and statistically significant correlation with worker engagement. Additionally, compared to the other dimensions, adaptability had a stronger positive correlation and statistical significance with workers engagement. However, mission had a beneficial but statistically insignificant impact on employee engagement. In light of this, the investigators advise maintaining the corporate ethos with a significant contribution to engagement by enhancing workers in decision-making and rewarding innovation to encourage workers for further creativity.
