Abstract

To be "engaged" in one's work means to feel a strong sense of excitement, commitment, and positive emotion towards one's job. Employee engagement is a psychological term that reflects how emotionally and intellectually invested a person is in their work. Alternatively, job satisfaction measures how happy an employee is with his or her work. It's a personal assessment of the job in terms of factors like income, benefits, workplace, connections with co-workers and superiors, room for professional development, and the nature of the work itself. Employees in the private sector in the Jammu district were surveyed to determine the extent to which they were invested in their jobs and satisfied with their working conditions. Information was gathered for the study using sampling (convenience sampling). The number of participants in this study was set at 102. For this study, we used two instruments to measure the two variables- job satisfaction and engagement: the Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire-Job Satisfaction Survey (MOAQ-JSS; Cammann, Finchman, Jenkins, and Klesh, 1983) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-9 (Schauffeli, Bakker, and Salanova, 2008). The data was analysed using the SPSS programme. The findings pointed to a favourable and statistically significant relationship between employee involvement and job contentment. Covid-19 has also provided evidence that it has a vital affect over aforementioned factors.
