Mone and London (2010) defined employee engagement is “a condition of employee who feels
ReplyDeleteinvolved, committed, passionate, and empowered and demonstrates those feelings in work behavior”. It is thus the level of commitment and involvement an employee has towards their organization and its values. The organization must work to develop and nurture engagement, which requires a two-way relationship between employer and employee. Thus, employee engagement is a barometer that determines the association of a person with the organization. Only a satisfied employee can become an engaged employee. Therefore it is very essential for an organization to see to it that the job given to the employee matches his career goals which will make him enjoy his work and he would ultimately be satisfied with his job.
Dear Jancy,Employee engagement involves organization-wide and should be viewed as broad cultural and organizational strategy (Frank et al., 2004), it works as a chain of actions (Shaw, 2005) which need the participation of all employees in the company (Robinson et al., 2004), and also have clear and continuous interactions with its members (Kress, 2005)
