Data for the study was gathered through eighteen semi-structured interviews conducted by the researcher and all interviews were recorded on audio disc. The subjects of the study were selected using a non-probability purposive sampling technique. The results suggest that business acknowledge employee engagement as a key component of business strategy and performance management systems is a critical organisational process, which may be used tap into the discretionary efforts of employees. The results reveal that the barriers to performance management are shared with employee engagement, and when these are conquered, employee engagement improves. The results recommend that to improve employee engagement the right leaders must be selected and trained and the environment must be one of trust, accountability and transparency. The results reveal that leaders must set out clear expectations to drive performance management and employee engagement to actively influence employees to participate and engage. zkgibs2015 Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) MBA Unrestricted 2015-03-13T11:35:05Z 2015-03-13T11:35:05Z 2015-03-24 2014 Mini Dissertation Pather, S 2014, Exploring performance management to enhance employee engagement, MBA Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/43994> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/43994 en © 2014 University of Pretoria.
