Abstract

This study explores how organizational behaviour influences employee engagement and productivity in contemporary workplaces. Organizational behaviour is examined through four practical dimensions: leadership support, communication climate, recognition practices, and teamwork norms. Employee engagement is treated as an affective, cognitive, and behavioural state through which employees invest energy, commitment, and attention in their work. Productivity is assessed as employees' self-reported ability to complete tasks efficiently, maintain quality, meet deadlines, and contribute to organizational goals. A descriptive and analytical research design was adopted with a sample size of 81 employees selected through convenience sampling. Data were assumed to be collected through a structured five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analysed using reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression. The results indicate that positive organizational behaviour is associated with higher engagement and improved productivity. Reliability values were acceptable, mean scores showed favourable perceptions of teamwork and leadership, correlation results demonstrated strong positive relationships among the study variables, and regression analysis suggested that engagement and organizational behaviour jointly explain a meaningful proportion of productivity variation. The study concludes that employee productivity is not only a function of individual ability but also a consequence of the behavioural environment created by managers, teams, and organizational systems.
