المستخلص

There has been a significant lack of Employee engagement study in the academic literature, which in return resulted in lack of knowledge about its consequences on the governmental sector “Alan M. Saks, (2006)”.
It was found that engaged employees tend to be energetic and considerably enthusiastic about their work and in result higher organization’s productivity is achieved “Bakker & Demerouti, 2008”. A positive relationship between organization’s productivity and employee engagement was found, meaning that the more engaged the employee, the better he performs; and thus the better the organization’s overall performance “Alan M. Saks, (2006)”.
After careful consideration of the Egyptian sector and its status, it was found that an examination of the the employee engagement’s impact on Egyptian Public sector is highly needed. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the employee engagement’s impact on Egyptian Public sector.
