The development of human resource management has alarmed the enhancement of performance outcomes. Employee job performance is one main consequences of employee engagement. Employee engagement is all about employee’s head, heart and hand involvement of his/her job as well as his/her organization. Therefore employee engagement has become a buzz word in the management circles. Other than the employee job performance, engaged employee is loyal, creative, innovative and a good team players. They are the people who take extra effort in-order to achieve the organizational goals. In the military context these characteristics are crucial. Consequently engaged employee is vital to the military context as well. National security, diplomatic relations and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) are the traditional roles of the Army, Navy and Air Force. Sri Lanka due to its island geography, Sri Lanka Navy has an especial responsibility for maritime defence. The Identified research gap is that, there is no empirical evidence about the level of employee engagement in the Sri Lanka Navy. Through a thorough quantitative study, the identified empirical and population gap was bridged. This is a descriptive study. Unit of analysis is individual i.e. officers in Sri Lanka Navy. The sample size is 108 Navy officers. Extent of the researcher interference with the study is minimal. Study setting is non-contrived. Type of investigation is correlation. Cross-sectional is the time horizon of the study. An instrument with 12 statements was used. Reliability of the instrument is also ensured. Actively/highly engaged, engaged, moderately engaged, dis-engaged and actively disengaged are the five levels of employee engagement. The results indicate that the level of employee engagement in the Sri Lanka Navy belongs to level ‘four’ on a five-point scale, which is ‘Engaged’.

The military’s ongoing efforts to protect the environment are clearly visible. The aim of this study is to bridge an empirical gap, i.e., there is no mediating effect of employee engagement on the relationship between green orientation and employee job performance in the Sri Lanka military context. Employee engagement is the employee’s head, heart and hand involvement in their job as well as their organization. Employee job performance is a main consequence of employee engagement. Because of this consequence, employee engagement has grabbed attention in both the business context and the military context. This quantitative study was achieved through objectives, namely, to identify the impact of green orientation on employee engagement, to identify the impact of employee engagement on employee job performance, and to identify the mediating effect of employee engagement on the relationship between green orientation and employee job performance. The unit of analysis is individual, i.e., officers in the Sri Lanka Navy. The sample size is 243. A cross-sectional study was done in a non-contrived environment with minimum researcher interference. Findings of this study suggest the direct relationship of green orientation and employee engagement, as well as the mediation effect of employee engagement on this relationship.
