Abstract

In most of the world, we have known that female employees have significantly contributed to the economic growth of an organisation and nation. In conjunction with female employees' contribution, the current study seeks to examine the relationship between employee engagement and employee job performance among the female workforce in Malaysian. A total of 300 female employees were randomly selected to participate in the survey. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to those 360 female respondents. The data were analysed by using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS-20). Descriptive statistics (frequency and mean) and inferential statistics (regression analysis) were employed in this study. The result shows that employee engagement has a positive and significant impact on female job performance in Malaysia. It is hoped that the findings of this study can assist female employees and employers better to understand the impact of engagement on employee job performance. Besides, the results of the study can help employers and policymakers to formulate measures or strategies to boost their female employees' work performance. The findings are also valuable for researchers to conduct future research to identify other factors that can influence female employees' work performance.
