Abstract:
Researchers and practitioners have recently focused more on employee work
engagement in this fast-paced business environment. According to empirical
research studies, positive work outcomes directly result from high levels of work
engagement. Through a pilot study and in-person interviews with the employees
of Luxora Tiles PLC, research has identified a problem with employee work
engagement. Researchers have identified many factors, such as leadership,
working culture, and workers’ resilience, that affects an employee’s level of work
engagement in a business based on global research projects. Employee
motivation, one of the key predictors of employee work engagement, can be
divided into two categories: intrinsic and extrinsic. The study examined the
impact of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on employees' work engagement at
Luxora Tiles PLC, which was supported by the Social Exchange Theory (SET).
Using a simple random sample, data was gathered from 270 employees by using
a questionnaire at Luxora Tiles PLC. Using SPSS, the quantitative analytical
technique was used in this investigation. The study applied regression analysis
to assess its hypotheses. The study's regression analysis revealed that
employees' work engagement is significantly affected by both intrinsic and
extrinsic motivation, with intrinsic motivation having a greater impact than
extrinsic drive. The findings from the research can be used to raise Luxora Tiles
PLC employees' levels of work engagement. In addition, the study contributes to
the body of knowledge with SET theory by expanding the theoretical
understanding of the effect of two types of motivation such as intrinsic and
extrinsic motivation, on employees’ work engagement.
