Background of the Study
Employee engagement is considered one of the most influential factors in driving organizational performance, productivity, and employee retention. Engaged employees are more committed to their work, motivated to achieve organizational goals, and less likely to leave the company (Kanu & Eze, 2023). In industries such as manufacturing and services, the approaches to engaging employees can differ significantly due to the nature of the work, the operational environment, and employee expectations. Dangote Cement Plc, one of the leading manufacturers in Nigeria, and Airtel Nigeria, a major telecommunications provider, both emphasize the importance of employee engagement to maintain high performance and competitiveness in their respective sectors.
In the manufacturing industry, employee engagement strategies often focus on enhancing job satisfaction through job security, fair compensation, skill development, and health and safety measures (Oloruntoba & Oladipo, 2024). For service industries like telecommunications, engagement strategies tend to emphasize teamwork, customer service excellence, and the use of technology to create a dynamic work environment. Given these differing operational models, this study will examine and compare the employee engagement strategies used by Dangote Cement Plc and Airtel Nigeria in Yobe State to assess how these strategies influence employee attitudes, performance, and organizational outcomes.
Statement of the Problem
While both Dangote Cement Plc and Airtel Nigeria recognize the importance of employee engagement, there is limited research on how the engagement strategies in these two distinct industries—manufacturing and services—affect employee attitudes and performance in Yobe State. Differences in the nature of work, company culture, and employee expectations may influence the effectiveness of engagement practices. Therefore, this study seeks to compare and evaluate the employee engagement strategies used by Dangote Cement Plc and Airtel Nigeria to determine which strategies are most effective in fostering employee commitment and performance.

Scope and Limitations of the Study
