Abstract:
This study explores the relationship between employee engagement and strategy implementation
at Amhara Media Corporation (AMC), focusing on five key dimensions: leadership, training and
development, empowerment, communication, and rewards and recognition. Data were collected
using a stratified random sampling technique from both head office and branch locations
through structured questionnaires. The analysis employed descriptive statistics, correlation, and
multiple regression to examine the impact of each engagement factor on strategic execution. The
results indicate that employee engagement has a significant effect on strategy implementation.
Communication emerged as the most influential factor, followed by rewards and recognition,
while leadership and training and development showed moderate but meaningful contributions.
Empowerment, however, did not display a statistically significant effect, suggesting limitations in
its application within AMC. These findings highlight the importance of targeted engagement
strategies to improve organizational performance. The study recommends refining empowerment
practices and emphasizes the critical role of communication and recognition in enhancing
strategy execution. Further research is suggested to explore underlying issues related to
empowerment and to identify additional engagement drivers that support strategic success.
