Todays’ organizations are facing low levels of employee engagement, with a tendency to decrease even further. Sustainability has been found to positively affect employee engagement as it provides employees with a higher purpose in their work. Therefore, this research study reveals leaders’ perception on the contribution of sustainability towards employee engagement, with a focus on multinational organizations in the Öresund region. This qualitative study combines Herzberg´s “Two- Factor Theory” and transformational leadership to analyze the research findings with a theoretical framework. The results display that sustainability has a significant influence on the level of employee engagement and various activities of organizations and leaders contribute towards this. The research also underlines that there is a potential for organizations to implement further strategies in this regard and thereby not only strengthen the satisfaction and loyalty of their current workforce, but also gain a competitive advantage in the future for attracting new talents.
