Abstract: The objective of this study is to examine the efficacy of several elements that may impact employee engagement in multinational corporations (MNCs) in Malaysia. Employee engagement is a crucial determinant that impacts employee performance, accomplishment, and continuous enhancement over a year. Multinational corporations (MNCs) face the challenge of efficiently managing a diverse workforce consisting of persons from various cultures, races, and with varying expectations, as a result of their economic growth. There is a lack of research on employee engagement in multinational corporations (MNCs), particularly in Malaysia. This study includes many independent variables, such as work-life balance, transformational leadership, and flexible work arrangements which give impacts on employee engagement. Previous research has shown a substantial correlation between the independent variables and employee engagement. The results from previous research demonstrated a strong correlation and connection between employee engagement and transformational leadership across all industries. Regarding the independent variable of work- life balance, it has shown a clear positive association with work-life balance. Furthermore, there is a strong and direct correlation between employee engagement and the use of flexible working arrangements in firms.
