The study walks around the basic concept of employee engagement in order to find how it assists in getting the maximum out of the employees as the main goal of any organization is high productivity. It also focuses on how employee engagement can be used effectively emphasizing on its foundation, namely employee commitment, job satisfaction, and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The study further emphasizes mainly on employee engagement by investigating the four chief drivers, namely interpersonal relations/communication, work-life stability, leadership, goal setting theory. The study highlights how these drivers impact employee engagement significantly. Despite heightened interest shown by academicians and practitioners in the construct of employee engagement, there is a paucity of literature on these four drivers and their impact on employee engagement. Therefore, this paper attempts to show interdependence between the drivers of performance and the parameters of employee engagement. Originality/Value: The study will help in understanding how the performance of employees in any organization is a significant aspect and companies are striving to get an edge over each other by focussing on their employees’ mental and physical well-being. Once the employees of an organization are enthusiastic and passionate about their work, they tend to relate their emotional faculty with that of organization’s physical being and may go extra miles for the success of the organization. Employee engagement is, then seen as an interaction between two variables, i.e. employee and the employer and hence, comes out to be one of the most important drivers in impacting the performance within the organization.
