Influence of Employee Engagement on Organisational Commitment and Job Performance: A study of Polytechnics in Haryana

Abstract

This article examines the impact of employee engagement on organisational commitment and job performance in 
Haryana polytechnics, with a focus on the transformative effects of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The 
study examines 2,600 faculty members from the Haryana State Polytechnic, using both descriptive and correlational 
methods. The study collects data using questionnaires and interviews from primary and secondary sources. Results 
indicate that increased employee engagement leads to enhanced organisational commitment and improved work 
performance. Engaged professors are loyal to their institutions, creating a more stable and motivated workforce. 
This devotion boosts productivity, quality, and creativity. The NEP 2020 has transformed Haryana's technical 
education landscape by promoting holistic and multidisciplinary education, course flexibility, and the integration of 
vocational education. These reforms have promoted continual learning, professional growth, and teamwork, which 
has improved employee engagement. The policy's emphasis on infrastructure, research, innovation, and industry
academia links has also improved organisational commitment and job performance. The study uses descriptive 
statistics, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, 
T-tests, and one-way ANOVA to investigate and validate the data. The findings indicate that polytechnics must 
prioritise employee involvement to maintain educational growth and excellence. Polytechnic institutions may 
improve their reputation, recruit and retain top talent, and succeed by providing an enjoyable work environment.
