Data was analyzed using SPSS v23 as per the study objectives. The questionnaire was tested for reliability and validity. Findings revealed a significant and positive relationship between; supportive work environment and employee commitment, supportive work environment and employee engagement, employee commitment and employee engagement. Overall, supportive work environment and employee commitment predict 31.2% of the variance in employee engagement.

The fact that the predictors in the model explain 31.2%, further studies may be conducted to explain the remaining variation (68.8%) in the level of employee engagement using different research designs.
