Abstract
The influence of employee engagement on organisational performance
has been widely acknowledged and confirmed. However, there are scanty
empirical investigations on the mediating role of organisational commitment
on the relationship between employee engagement and organisational
performance. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the mediating
influence of organisational commitment on the relationship between
employee engagement and performance of selected state corporations in
Kenya. The study adopted a positivistic approach to investigate the
relationships among and between the variables. Descriptive and explanatory
research designs were used to describe the variables and establish the nature
of the relationships among them. The study is based on employees of state
corporations in research and training in the republic of Kenya. A sample of
378 respondents was selected using a multi stage sampling strategy. Data
was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The result indicates
that employee engagement influences organisational performance and that
the relationship is partially moderated by organisational commitment.
