The main purpose of the study was to analyse factors which contribute to employees engagement in organisation performance, due to the fact that, despite the efforts to engage employee, still employee engagement remains one of the greatest challenge facing many organizations in Tanzania. A case study research design was adopted, the population of study consisted of employee from the department of health, education and human resource. Simple random sampling and purposive sampling methods were used in this study. A Sample size of 130 respondents was selected through simple random sampling and purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews and observation methods. Data analysis was done by using Software Package for Statistical Science (SPSS) version 20. The study findings revealed that remuneration and benefit to a large extent seemed to be a major contributor of employee engagement, followed by other factors. Conversely, factors like unsatisfactory regular meeting, inadequate feedback, insufficient of social events, uninformed organisation objectives and insufficient employee involvement, were revealed to contribute in employee disengagement as it was found to be the need of employees and at the same time these dimensions were not well practiced by the council. The study offers significant recommendations to government, public and private sector on how to promote employees engagement in their organisations, Also employees have been advised to develop themselves without waiting for the organisation to administer a formal learning opportunity.
