Abstract

This study aimed to learn the mediating effect of employee engagement between the relationship of organizational commitment and employee turnover of government employees. This investigation employed a non-experimental quantitative research design, utilizing the descriptive-correlational and mediation methodologies. To align with the research objectives, a standardized questionnaire was contextualized and administered. In compliance with study ethics, results were collected through a face-to-face survey. The study was conducted at the Municipality of Maitum wherein 353 government employees responded to participate. The study used these statistical tools to analyze the data, regression techniques, Sobel’s Z-test, Pearson’s R, descriptive statistics, and mediation and path analysis to look into causal relationships. Results exposed that level of organizational commitment; employee turnover and engagement are all high. Likewise, the result displays that there is a positive and significant relationship midst the independent and dependent variables of this study. The variables of this study employee engagement, organizational commitment, and employee turnover exposed a positive significant correlation. The study discovered through a series of regressions that the mediating effect of employee engagement displays partial significant relationship between organizational commitment and employee turnover as it shows the commitment of government employees to their organizations as shown on the regression weights models.
