  This review paper identifies the core evidence of research on employee
engagement , considering a stern challenge facing the financial sector
nowadays. The study highlights the noteworthy knowledge gaps that will support
human resource management practitioners to embed in the research towards
sectoral context. Pertinent articles were selected through key search points
and excerpt-related literature. The key search points covered the topic related
to different terms of engagement for example "employee engagement" OR "work
engagement" OR "job engagement" OR "organization engagement" OR "staff
engagement" OR "personnel engagement" which were steered in diverse context
particularly financial sector. Through critically reviewing the literature for
the last 11 years i.e., 2009-2019, we discovered 91 empirical studies in
financial sector. From these studies, we found the overall concept of
engagement and its different determinants (e.g., organizational factors,
individual factors, job factors) as well as its various outcomes (e.g.,
employee outcomes, organizational outcomes). We also formulated a conceptual
model to expand the body of knowledge in the area of employee engagement for a
better understanding of its predictors and outcomes. Besides, limitations of
the study and future recommendations are also contemplated.
