Download or read book An Investigation into Employee Engagement and its Impact on Organisational Performance written by Maidaani Adelaide Matare and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 0,74, , course: Master of Business Administration, language: English, abstract: The aim of this research was to evaluate employee engagement within Northlands Medical Group, Namibia and its potential impact on organisational performance. The company management made a realisation that there was a dearth of robust information regarding employees’ engagement levels, as well as their intentions to quit or stay, and factors influencing these. This was a quantitative survey study and a structured questionnaire was used to ascertain the factors affecting employee engagement. The survey was conducted telephonically to a study population of 80 respondents. The study population was randomly selected from the company database of all the employees. Employee performance and the nature of interaction with customers are critical in the service industry such as the health care industry. Employee engagement, a contemporary concept linked to employee job satisfaction and motivation, has been well recognised in the literature as being sturdily correlated with their performance, presentism, and advocacy and retention intentions. Therefore, organisations need to empirically and robustly measure employee engagement amongst their staff complement, and determine factors that may influence it, so as to take evidence-based remedial action. Findings from primary research pertaining to the factors affecting engagement levels of the employees at Northlands Medical Group revealed that there were 3 main factors that affect employee engagement namely emotional, cognitive/mental and physical energy factors. The majority of the Northlands Medical Group employees have been found to be actively engaged in all the three major factors that affect engagement. In relation to describing the relationship between employee engagement and organisational performance, findings revealed that there is a very strong connection between employee engagement and organisational performance. The primary research findings revealed that the majority of the Northlands Medical group employees were fully committed to their job, the organisation and they have great advocacy for the company to potential employees and clients. This could be a sign of active engagement and in turn, organisational performance thrives from that.

Download or read book Employee Engagement in Contemporary Organizations written by Paul Turner and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-30 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although researchers have made great strides in clarifying the meaning of employee engagement, scholars are ambivalent as to whether employee engagement is distinct from other constructs related to the employee–organization relationship, and it is argued that there is a need for further scholarly examination and exploration, particularly within the context of the rapidly changing work environment where twenty-first-century technology and behaviour meet twentieth-century organization, demanding innovative responses to the challenges of employee engagement. Addressing this issue, this book reviews, analyses and presents evidence from academic researchers and supplements this with practice-based case studies from a range of international organizations. The author seeks to provide a coherent, consistent definition of employee engagement; clarity about its benefits; identification of its key features and attributes, and an understanding of how these are translated into practice; and insight into the most effective ways of measuring employee engagement in a meaningful way.

Download or read book State of The Global Workplace written by Gallup and published by Gallup Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only 15% of employees worldwide are engaged at work. This represents a major barrier to productivity for organizations everywhere – and suggests a staggering waste of human potential. Why is this engagement number so low? There are many reasons — but resistance to rapid change is a big one, Gallup’s research and experience have discovered. In particular, organizations have been slow to adapt to breakneck changes produced by information technology, globalization of markets for products and labor, the rise of the gig economy, and younger workers’ unique demands. Gallup’s 2017 State of the Global Workplace offers analytics and advice for organizational leaders in countries and regions around the globe who are trying to manage amid this rapid change. Grounded in decades of Gallup research and consulting worldwide -- and millions of interviews -- the report advises that leaders improve productivity by becoming far more employee-centered; build strengths-based organizations to unleash workers’ potential; and hire great managers to implement the positive change their organizations need not only to survive – but to thrive.

Download or read book Engageme written by Dr. John Vizzuso and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-04-25 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EngageME: Will Leaders Listen? is a revealing and powerful journey of discovery. Dr. Vizzuso shares twenty years of experiences, ideas, and lessons, which have the power to transform employees and organizations to build strong employee-leader relationships. It identifies organizational heroes, unethical leadership, and wayward friends to functionally explain employee engagement and the strategies necessary to succeed. The subtext of EngageME is that engagement is critical to both personal and professional lives. Organizations and employees will appreciate, understand, and relate to a new model of personal and professional engagement. Having articulated the problem, Dr. Vizzuso proceeds to offer specific advice, including concrete methodologies and practical recommendations to assess an organizations preparedness and correct its deficiencies. He illustrates, through real-life examples of events, how organizations succeeded or failed in their interaction with employees as well as the potential for such interactions to foster disengagement, thereby compromising patient experience and optimal institutional function and success. He proposes recommendations, including specific methodologies and metrics for initial and follow-up assessments, to restructure the very nature of organizations to improve access and communication between management and employees to promote and encourage employee engagement as well as to assess its impact on customers. He implores leadership to be proactive and accountable and to create an environment of trust and confidence amongst its workers, whereby they do not fear offering suggestions or even criticisms of the organization.

Download or read book Bridging Occupational Organizational and Public Health written by Georg F. Bauer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our complex, fast changing society, health is strongly influenced by the continuously changing interactions between organisations and their employees. Three major fields contribute to health-oriented improvements of these interactions: occupational health, organizational health and public health. As currently only partial links exist amongst these fields, the book aims to explore potential synergies more systematically. Considering the high mental and social demands in a service and knowledge sector economy, the first part of the book focuses on work-related psychosocial factors. As a large proportion of inequalities in health in developed countries can be explained by inequalities in working conditions, those psychosocial factors with a particularly high public health impact are highlighted. As addressing these psychosocial factors requires to involve the organization as the key change agent, the second part covers approaches to improve public health through organizational level health interventions. The last section takes a look into the future of occupational, organizational and public health: what are the future challenges regarding occupational health and how can they be tackled within and beyond the organizational level. Overall, this integrating book will help to broaden the evidence-base, legitimacy and efficacy of occupational- and organizational-level health interventions and thus increase their public health impact.

Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, University of Aarhus (Management), language: English, abstract: An analysis of the relationship between leadership and employee engagement and the impact of the direct manager.

The aim is to leverage employee engagement in order to reach a high performance within an organization. But the discrepancy between the perceived importance of engagement and the level of engagement that actually exists in corporations today presents a serious gap between employees, organizations and Human Resource professionals. When tying employees and employers together in an employment relationship, it is expected that organizations align the interests of their employees to those of the firm. This is essential to make sure that employees act in ways expected of the organization and aligned with the corporate objectives to positively impact the outcome.

Download or read book Methodologies to measure and define Employee Engagement written by Roland Zelles and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2012-07-17 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: Employee engagement has been characterized as a distinct and unique construct that consists of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components associated with individual role performance. Engaged employees often display a deep, positive emotional connection with their work and are likely to display attentiveness and mental absorption in their work. Engaged employees are consistently more productive, profitable, safer, healthier, and less likely to leave their employer. Employee engagement is a new term for organizations due to its recent transformation from the previously known concepts of employee satisfaction and employee commitment. Although the organizations often struggle in achieving their desired goals, they tend to claim employees to be one of their important assets. This is mainly because of the importance attached to their efforts and their impact on the organization’s overall performance and productivity. Hence, employee engagement holds great significance not only for the traditionally operating companies but also for the knowledge worker organization which is based on human intellect and creativity. Despite the influential role of employee engagement, companies continuously struggle with it. This can be attributed to the inconsistency and difference in the way Employee Engagement is defined and measured. Thus, there is a dire need to achieve universality in this context in order to achieve greater improvements for the organizations. One specific group of employees in high tech companies are knowledge workers. Knowledge workers are employees such as data analysts, product developers, planners, programmers, service providers and researchers who are engaged primarily in acquisition, analysis, and manipulation of information as opposed to production of goods. Today’s workforce in a working environment, where knowledge, the application of that knowledge in research and development and the speed and quality of product development, sales and marketing is more important, than traditional production knowledge is often described as the Knowledge worker age.
