Emotional, cognitive and physical engagement emerged as significant predictors for overall organizational effectiveness. The findings add the empirical support for the study variables. The results suggest that amelioration of organizational effectiveness depends on various independent variables but employee engagement is also one of the most effective variables. It will be useful in providing the understanding on the topic with empirical evidence and suggest the measures to improve the policies and intervention program of organizations so that employee engagement increases and organizations can achieve overall effectiveness.

Management is delegated by organizational power, whose function is more related to performing technical and executive tasks and maintaining the status quo in organizations, while leadership benefits from the power and influence of the individual who plays a key role in developing and implementing policies such as reforming the structure and processes in the organization.

If management establishes a correct and logical relationship with people so that it identifies their individual needs and pays attention to those needs, it can legitimately use its human resources in line with organizational goals.
