Abstract: In recent years, employee engagement (EE) has gained huge attention in organisations and research activities. For both human resources practitioners and academician's employee engagement is the main focus of interest, and is constantly rated as a major concern of the top management priority list. Employee engagement, on the other hand, has received less attention in Asian higher education institutions. As more Asian firms recognise the value of a productive staff, this study examines the function of employee engagement in mediating the association between job satisfaction and organisational commitment. Employee engagement partially mediates the relationship between job satisfaction and organisational commitment, according to an SEM analysis of 253 online responses from academicians in Uttarakhand. The developed framework was determined to be a suitable fit for the scenario. The findings may persuade higher education policymakers to view employee engagement as an opportunity instead of a liability.

Keywords: job satisfaction; employee engagement; organisational commitment; higher educational institutions; HEI's.
