Abstract

Employee engagement, characterized by dedication and enthusiasm towards work, is a critical driver of organizational success. This research explores the potential of integrating social sustainability practices within organisation’s strategy to enhance employee engagement to cultivate a strong sense of belonging within the workforce. Sence of belonging, the feeling of being valued, respected, and accepted, is crucial for employee engagement and overall well-being. Despite the significant impact of social sustainability on employee engagement and belongingness, it is under-researched. Existing literature highlights the need for further research on the impact of social sustainability on employee engagement and belongingness for better organisational performance. This study addresses the need of developing a comprehensive theoretical framework for future research, outlining potential methodologies and factors that may influence the effectiveness of these strategies. Future empirical research is necessary to determine the outcomes.
