Data was collected online using Google form from 337 samples having varied work backgrounds and working at different levels of organization using a structured questionnaire with 5-point rating scale. Findings of the current research work suggest that the employee engagement has many positive outcomes for the organization, especially in developing the career of employee. In addition, the current research work indicates that the employee engagement is having predictive validity for future endeavor in career development space for the organization.
