Abstract: Purpose: This study explores the factors impacting employee engagement on organizational performance at higher education institutions in Oman. It aims to explore the relationship between employee engagement and organizational performance at these institutions. By providing valuable insights and recommendations, this research aims to develop effective strategies that can boost employee engagement and enhance organizational performance. Design/methodology/approach: A positivist research paradigm guides the assumption of this experiment study. This paradigm is characterized by the belief that reality is objectively observable and can be quantifiably measured and analyzed using statistical methods. Quantitative data was collected through a survey from individuals who were randomly selected from HEIs' field to participate in the study. The study utilized a quantitative research approach, employing descriptive statistical tools. Findings: The findings suggest that employee engagement improves organizational performance. The study highlights the varying impact of vigor, dedication, and absorption on organizational performance in a higher education institution in Oman, which may expose the generalizability of the findings. It also revealed new possibilities for further research in similar locations, which will help to validate the results obtained so far. Originality/value: This research provides quantitative insights into the relationship between employee engagement and organizational performance. Exploring this relationship and offering valuable suggestions to enhance organizational performance in Oman's higher education institutions contributes to the existing body of knowledge.
