Gachunga Lecturer, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Kenya ABSTRACT Employees are the main assets of the organization and it is important that they prioritize their tasks at the workplace if the organization is to get maximum benefit from them. Organizations on the other hand try to extract the best out of each employee and to make them deliver their best. The main objective of the study was to establish the influence of career management practices on employee engagement. The population of this study comprised of all 165 civilian staff currently deployed at Moi Air Base. A sample of the population was studied. Data were obtained through questionnaires with closed and open-ended questions. Multiple regression model and Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyze the date. The study found that mentors at the ministry of defence discuss possible means of self improvement which they employees can take to improve their current position. The study recommended that organizations should make their employees aware of the job postings in order to prepare in advance as they plan to undertake career management. |
