Furthermore, the research scope and design and research structure are also outlined. Research background Today’s business environment requires that companies maintain maximum flexibility in order to adapt to the changing demands of the marketplace. In recent years, multinational companies from around the world have eagerly embraced globalization and try to develop and implement a worldwide competition. An aggressive campaign to boost profitability, increase market share, and improve customer satisfaction has been launch by a group of leaders. Besides, organizations have to face now with the challenges of human resource development and management, in order to retain their best employees. Employee turnover is a problem faced by all organizations. High turnover rates have been associated with decreased customer satisfaction (Koys, 2001), productivity (Huselid, 1995), future revenue growth (Baron, Hannan, & Burton, 2001), and profitability (Glebbeek & Bax, 2004).Therefore, now all organizations are highly concerned to keep their valuable 1 employees not only to reduce the turnover cost but to ensure the stability and developing constantly. In order to be successful, each organization needs to minimize turnover as well as maximize the effort each individual devotes to his or her organization. Organizations expect their employees to be proactive and show initiative, collaborate smoothly with others, take responsibility for their own professional development, and to be committed to high quality performance standard. An important way of doing 2 this is through employee engagement. As noted by Schaufeli and Bakker (2004), engaged employees are likely to have a greater attachment to their organization and a lower tendency to quit. Engagement becomes an emerging psychological construct that purports to measures how much a person is into his job. The concept of work engagement has gained momentum because of its predictive value for job performance (Bakker, 2009; Schaufeli & Salanova, 2007). Employees who are engaged put much effort into their work because they indentify with it. It is convinced that the people are the most important assets who form the strength of the company and nothing can be achieved without their commitment. Organizations need employees who feel energetic and dedicated, and who are absorbed by their work. In other words, organizations need engaged workers. In order to achieve this aim, employees should be encouraged to participate in organizational activities which are expected to enhance their engagement. Managers have to build close work relations with their subordinates to cope with the stressful and heavy working environment. The role of leader behaviorsisvery important to engage their followers, especially the transformational leadership. Researches showed that individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, 3 inspirational motivation, and idealized influence – four components of transformational leadership all result in extra effort from workers, higher productivity, higher morale and satisfaction, higher organizational effectiveness, lower turnover, lower absenteeism, and greater organizational adaptability (Robbins & Judge, 2007). In banking sector, due to the nature of business, the more braches and offices banks have, the more chances they have to get more business and market shares. Thus, banking employees constitute the largest group of services providers. As banking is one of the vital service industry for any country and plays an important role in developing the economy, once banking 4 industry develop constantly, the economy will go together. A healthy banking system depends on the performance of sound personnel. In order to make sure that their employees are good performers they have to know how to retain talented people and how to engage those people. In the context of Vietnam, after we officially become a member of WTO, liberating of financial industry is a commitment that we must to comply. This liberation gives many chances not only for foreign banks to enter to Vietnamese market but also local banks to expand their operation to compete with other ones. Together with the expanding in banking network, the need of human resources in financial sector is increasing quickly. As a consequence, banking sector always is facing the turnover problem. Therefore, to retain talented employees, banks need to understand how to engage their employees. Results from research organizations and corporate results have demonstrated there may be a strong link between engagement, employee performance and business outcomes. However, how to increase employee engagement level so that they can contribute with high performance for banks in Vietnam is not much explored. So far, there has been no research on the effect of leadership behavior on employee engagement level in banking sector in Vietnamese context. Research objective 5 The present research investigates the impact four components of transformational leadership behaviors on employee engagement level, particularly in banking sector in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam.
