Abstract
Employee engagement is one of the key determinants fostering high levels of employee performance, as constantly shown in a number of studies. University lecturers are playing a vital role in shaping the knowledge, skills and attitudes of the most intelligent young generation in the country. Accordingly, analyzing whether there are influences of demographic factors for determining the level of employee engagement of government university lecturers was the primary purpose of the present research. Three hundred and eighty-eight government university lecturers were selected as prescribed by Krejcie and Morgan (1970) using stratified sampling method with representation of all the government universities in Sri Lanka. Findings showed that there are no differences of employee engagement among four groups of educational qualification and two types of genders. Findings further elaborated that the level of employee engagement is different in terms of four types of age groups.
