The HR practices and their probable mediation in shaping the work environment and respective sustainable engagement in Indian IT firms is a novel construct and needs extensive dimensional and theoretical exploration. Age derived employee engagement as organizational resource is a research attribute of latest intellectual discourses. The study explored the ageing, mid-career concerns and organizational citizenship across employee in pre-retirement perspective and examined the employee engagement hassles and implications for leadership style mediation in IT companies. The sample frame comprises the 722 employees working across middle sized IT companies in age group 20-40. The study is based on the perceptions of the individual who were part of software delivery team with aid of laptops, desktops or other similar digital assets. The study concluded statistically significant impact of leadership style on the age inclusive employee engagement in middle sized IT firms.
