Exploring The Determinants Of Millennial Employee Engagement: A Study Of Selected IT Companies In India

Abstract

This study investigates the key factors influencing millennial employee engagement within selected IT companies in India by combining a systematic review with quantitative statistical analysis. A total of 19 peer-reviewed articles from Scopus and Web of Science were reviewed to identify core engagement drivers such as value congruence, job security, organizational support, and artificial intelligence (AI) integration in HR practices. To complement the literature review, primary data were analyzed using statistical techniques, including regression analysis, based on a sample of 100 millennial employees. The multiple linear regression model revealed that all four predictors significantly influence employee engagement, with organizational support having the strongest impact. Additional statistical tests confirmed the reliability and significance of the model. Demographic analysis reflected a balanced distribution of respondents in terms of gender, age, qualification, and work experience. Psychological factors such as autonomy, trust, and coping strategies also emerged as relevant themes. Furthermore, trends like quiet quitting and knowledge hiding emphasize the need for inclusive and adaptive organizational cultures. The study's novelty lies in its dual-method approach and focused analysis of millennial engagement in India’s IT sector, offering valuable insights for HR practitioners and researchers.
