This study also sought to observe the mediating effect of work engagement on the relationship between high performance work system and employees' intent to stay. The measure for HPWS included six dimensions; staffing, training, compensation (incentive based), performance appraisal, work design and participation of employees. Work engagement, was gauged through its three facets namely, vigor, dedication and absorption. While intent to stay was assessed using positive intention related questions. Explanatory cross-sectional study design was followed and a sample of 300 was drawn using convenience sampling from twenty-one out of twenty-six banks in Sargodha. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied using SPSS version 21 to analyze the data.
