Abstract

The failure of companies to comprehend the motivational factors affecting employee engagement can result in many issues, including high turnover rates, decreased productivity, low morale, poor decision-making, and reduced competitiveness. Disengaged employees are less likely to participate in decision-making, resulting in a lack of creativity and a loss of insightful ideas and suggestions. This research aimed to study the motivation and hygiene factors affecting employee engagement at Liaoning Haolian Zhongfan Investment Co., Ltd., China. The population used in this study were Liaoning Haolian Zhongfan Investment Co., Ltd., China employees. The questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample group of 300 people. Data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and hypothesis testing using multiple regression analysis.

The results showed that motivation factors such as achievement, responsibility, work itself, advancement, and the possibility of growth affect employee engagement at Liaoning Haolian Zhongfan Investment Co., Ltd., China, at the statistical significance level of .05 with a predictive power of 86.3 percent. And hygiene factors such as working conditions, compensations, and welfare, interpersonal relations with peers, personal life, interpersonal relations with subordinators, and status affect employee engagement at Liaoning Haolian Zhongfan Investment Co., Ltd., China, at the statistical significance level of .05 with a predictive power of 91.2 percent.
