Using ordered logistic regression via maximum likelihood estimation, this study examined the relationship between the human resource management practices of firms and the level of engagement of their employees. More than 1,000 employees from 13 different companies belonging to the BusinessWorld Top 1000 Corporations in the Philippines responded to an Employee Opinion Survey developed by Edralin (2007), which was based on the best employer characteristics and attitudes identified by Hewitt Associates. Estimates were generated for three models, each representing the three elements of employee engagement (SAY, STAY, and STRIVE). Results indicate that among eight human resource management functions, the communication of business strategies, compensation, and training and development were the best predictors of employee engagement. Managerial implications were then discussed.
