Employee engagement is necessary for the growth and sustainability of firms. Many past studies have used different antecedents of employee engagement, including commitment, psychological well-being, and other organizational-related outcomes. However, a few studies have examined the moderating effect of climate for innovation on ESMU and EE. Given its importance, we have developed a conceptual framework that examines the impact of ESMU, EPWB, and EC on EE and the effect of ESMU on EPW. The study also examined the moderating effect of CFI on ESMU and EE. The study has focused on Pakistan's textile sector; employment generation and contribution towards GDP are significantly higher than in other industries. Based on the data collected from the targeted textile sector and using smart PLS, we found the study supports all the hypotheses, aligning with the past literature. The study also documents employee SMU, EPWB, and EC promote EE. Employee SMU promotes EPWB. EPWB mediates ESMU and EE. CFI moderates ESMU and EE. The study increased the generalizability of Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory (1977), as our results support all the proposed hypotheses. We recommend firms must focus on creating an innovative environment. Employees suggest new ideas about new business processes and innovation in such an environment. New ideas may not always result in innovative products but may increase employee involvement and engagement. Many leading firms have made a policy in which all the employees have to give new ideas perpetually, producing good results. Textile firms in Pakistan may adopt and implement this policy. Therefore, we recommend firms must focus on creating an innovative environment. Employees suggest new ideas about new business processes and innovation in such an environment.References
