The purpose of this research is to design and model engaged employee in public sector organizations. It is conducted in a mixed type format (qualitative – quantitative research). Accordingly, in the first part of the study, meta-synthesis qualitative research methods of Sandelowski and Barroso(2007) were used to provide a comprehensive model of the employees with engagement. Thus, after identifying issues, concepts and codes of engaged employees and evaluating its validity and reliability, the initial concept model was prepared. The second section which included the survey evaluation has been produced by experts and content validity (CVR-CVI) and explaining the employees engagement model.
