The population of this study consisted of 8 leading IT companies within Islamabad. Data was collected through questionnaires, based on independent and dependent variable. SPSS version 23 was used to analyze the data collected through questionnaires. Correlation and Regression analysis was used to analyze the data collected. According to the result of analysis, workforce age composition positively affects the impact of HPWS engagement relationship.
