Career maximizing is the extent to which a person desires to make career decisions in pursuit of maximizing goals. It is now receiving widespread academic and research interest from various quarters. Since a career is a process wherein individuals narrow down their life choices, to create and find their self, it is of paramount importance. Employee engagement is an affective cognitive state at workplace, which is persistent and pervasive in nature. It is capable of enhancing employee empowerment, and reducing workplace deviance and turnover intentions. The study identified the relationship between career maximization and employee engagement.

The study has brought out significant addition to management literature as no earlier studies have been done to identify the relationships.
