Work engagement is positively related to in-role performance and negatively related to turnover intention.Research limitations/implicationsThe study recommends further longitudinal studies in this area.Practical implicationsMore studies and practical investigations can be conducted in organizations, academics and societies since the current study explored the appropriate version of UWES in the Indian context.Originality/valueThis is a key study which analyses psychometric properties of UWES in Indian banking sector by considering all its versions.
