Background of the Study
Employee engagement is recognized as a crucial factor that influences organizational success. It refers to the level of enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment an employee has toward their organization, which is often reflected in their discretionary effort, job satisfaction, and willingness to contribute to organizational goals (Adeola & Omotayo, 2024). When employees are highly engaged, they tend to be more productive, exhibit greater organizational commitment, and remain with the organization for longer periods.
Fidelity Bank, a leading financial institution in Nigeria, has made substantial investments in employee engagement programs to enhance productivity and reduce turnover. In Kebbi State, where the bank operates, employee engagement has the potential to drive organizational commitment, an essential element for sustained growth in a competitive banking environment. Organizational commitment, defined as the psychological attachment an employee has to their organization, is often strengthened by engagement efforts such as professional development, recognition programs, and work-life balance initiatives (Olawunmi & Alabi, 2023). However, while there is a body of literature on employee engagement, its impact on organizational commitment within the banking sector in Kebbi State remains an underexplored area. This review aims to explore the existing studies on the link between employee engagement and organizational commitment and assess its relevance and applicability to Fidelity Bank's operations in Kebbi State.
Statement of the Problem
While employee engagement is widely considered a key driver of organizational commitment, there is limited research focused on how engagement strategies influence commitment within Fidelity Bank, especially in the context of Kebbi State. As the banking sector faces challenges like employee turnover and reduced morale, understanding the direct link between employee engagement and organizational commitment is vital for Fidelity Bank to improve retention and foster long-term employee loyalty. This review investigates the existing evidence on the impact of employee engagement strategies on organizational commitment and seeks to offer recommendations for enhancing engagement practices to strengthen commitment.
