While the exploratory factor analysis was grounded in statistic in social science program. The results disclosed the confirmatory the exploratory factor analysis in employee engagement model consists 6 factors. The factor loadings ranking from the highest to the lowest were .53 and .99. The validation of a goodness of fitted model yielded a Chi-square of 340.05, p = .0000 at a degrees of freedom of 174, X2/df =1.95, GFI = .92, AGFI = .87, CFI=0.99, SRMR = .012, and RMSEA = .05.
