Summary/Abstract: Managerial engagement plays an important role in achieving organisational performance. Three types of behaviors and attitudes related to managers’ performance should be considered: job engagement, work involvement, and organizational commitment. The literature indicates that numerous factors are relevant to high engagement, with satisfaction playing a particularly important role among them. The purpose of this article is to assess the level of commitment and satisfaction among managers, compare their results with those of non-management employees, and determine the strength of the relationships between the engagement (three types) and managerial job satisfaction with: economic conditions, their responsibilities, interpersonal relations and the physical environment. Organisational factors including perceived support and a sense of justice are also highlighted. The relationships between the three types of satisfaction and different types of engagement are identified; the strength of these relationships varied. The results obtained can be used to shape the commitment of managers and hence make more effective use of their potential.
