Abstract
This paper extends the resource based view of the firm to employee engagement and explores linkages with firm performance. It argues that employee engagement interacts with other intangible variables such as the sense of justice and psychological contract which an individual feels and expects, respectively. The individual?s psychological contract is shaped by organizations? HR policies along with many social cues from the work environment. This may affect the employee engagement. Further, there may be a positive effect of Employee Engagement on Organizational Commitment and Organizational Citizenship Behavior. The entire equation may lead to high firm performance which in turn may affect Employee Engagement. It proposes a conceptual model of these intangible variables and their linkage with the tangible variable of firm performance.
