In an era defined by rapid disruption, demographic flux, and the irreversible blurring of physical and digital workspaces, the question of how organizations sustain employee engagement has never been more consequential. This study examines the multidimensional impact of organizational culture on employee engagement across five distinct industrial sectors. Anchored in a positivist, quantitative framework, primary data were gathered via a rigorously validated structured questionnaire administered to a purposive sample of 116 full-time employees. Through descriptive analysis, reliability testing, and multiple regression modeling, four theoretically grounded cultural dimensions — cultural values alignment, psychological safety, collaborative work environment, and cultural satisfaction — were assessed as predictors of engagement. The results confirm that all four dimensions exert significant positive influence on engagement, with cultural values alignment and cultural satisfaction emerging as the most robust predictors. The composite model explains approximately 66% of variance in employee engagement, affirming organizational culture as a central strategic lever for workforce vitality and institutional performance
