The study was guided by the following objectives notably; to establish the relationship between organizational culture and employee engagement; to determine the relationship between mentorship and employee engagement; and to establish the relationship between ethical leadership and employee engagement. The study was anchored on the conceptualization of LMX theory. The study used a cross sectional research design, and a quantitative approach. The study target population was 368 public health workers, out of which a sample of 322 respondents who directly participated in the study were selected using Krejcie and Morgan’s Table of (1970) to represent the study. A structured closed-ended questionnaire was used to collect data. Validity and reliability analysis were tested using both expert judgment and Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient to determine the content validity and internal consistency of the research instruments respectively. Data was collected with the aid of closed-ended questionnaires and Statistical Packages for Social Sciences was employed for analyzing data from which frequency tables, descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), reliability, validity, correlation, and regression results were obtained. The study findings revealed that organizational culture, mentorship, and ethical leadership have a positive effect on employee engagement. The study therefore, recommends that organizational culture, mentorship, and ethical leadership are prerequisites for enhanced employee engagement in public health facilities. Finally, the study suggested that future scholars should conduct a comparison study by covering private, manufacturing, and Non-Government organizations in Uganda.
