Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Kahn's theoretical model (1990), the following three psychological conditions - meaningfulness, safety, and availability - are the key proximal predictors of job engagement. The current study examined the effects of these three psychological conditions (meaningfulness, safety, and availability) on three aspects of job engagement (JE), using both cross-sectional and daily diary data to examine between-person and within-person relationships among these variables. Psychological conditions were also examined as mediators of relationships between organizational and personal factors and job engagement. Furthermore, positive affect (PA) was tested as a moderator of the relationships between distal predictors and the three psychological conditions. A sample of 430 full-time U.S. employees, recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk, completed baseline surveys; 307 of them completed more than three daily surveys in the following week. Main effects of meaningfulness and availability on physical, cognitive, and emotional JE were significant and positive at both general- and day-level. Safety was only significantly and positively related to emotional JE at general- and day-level. The effects of the three psychological conditions were non-compensatory. Moreover, meaningfulness mediated the effects of skill variety, task significance, work-role fit, supervisor support, and coworker support on all three aspects of JE. Availability mediated the effects of FWC, self-efficacy, and autonomy on all three aspects of JE. PA was demonstrated to be positively associated with all three psychological conditions and JE, and it moderated the supervisor support-availability and coworker support-safety relationships, such that these positive relationships were stronger when PA was low.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations today are struggling to attract and retain an engaged workforce. Those organizations who succeed experience an increase in job performance, productivity, customer satisfaction, and employee retention. There is a growing interest in identifying the key factors that contribute to a work environment that is conducive to employee engagement. This study was designed to examine the relative importance of the psychological conditions necessary for employee engagement: a sense of meaningfulness, psychological safety and psychological availability. This study examined engagement in the context of the job itself, the relationships in the work environment, and what the individual brings to the job. The specific predictors of employee engagement examined were: sense of meaningfulness, psychological capital, co-worker relationships and transformational leadership. A 56-item survey was distributed to staff members of a mid-sized four year institution located in the Midwest. While all four factors were positive and significantly correlated to the outcome of engagement, a sense of meaningfulness was the strongest predictor of employee engagement. Psychological capital was the second strongest predictor, followed by positive co-worker relationships and transformational leadership. The findings in this study contribute to what we know about the predictors of employee engagement and provide both scholars and practitioners with a greater understanding of key factors that contribute to the outcome of employee engagement. Implications and directions for future research and practical applications for practitioners is discussed.

Download or read book Thriving Under Stress written by Thomas W. Britt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have all experienced work conditions that tax our ability to cope. Many of us have experienced these demands for long periods of time and have developed psychological, and even physical, problems. Most employees can also recall times when they have dealt with the stress they were under at work, even coming out stronger. What helps employees to perform well and stay healthy under high levels of stress? What are the factors that distinguish those employees? What are the best ways to recover from a stressful day at work? How can employees proactively address stressors they encounter at work, and how can they move from "coping" to "thriving" in the workplace? Thriving Under Stress illuminates the ways stressful working conditions can produce positive outcomes when employees approach demands in the right way, focus on the meaning and significance of their work, and recover appropriately from stressful working conditions, both during the day and when at home. Britt and Jex encourage employees to view themselves as active constructors of their work environment-capable of proactively addressing the burdens they encounter, instead of becoming passive recipients of work stressors.
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 Antecedents of Job Engagement written by Moonju Sung and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the factors that influence job engagement, with a specific focus on the roles of psychological conditions that promote job engagement. This study aimed to contribute to the knowledgebase about how to foster job engagement based on a rigorous framework consisting of Kahn's (1990) theory of engagement and relevant motivational theories using a sample of 486 employees recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk working in for-profit organizations in the United States. The results of structural equation modeling revealed that financial rewards had a weak, positive relationship with job engagement (research question 1). Job autonomy and financial rewards were shown to have positive relationships with psychological meaningfulness, while learning culture and procedural justice were found to have positive relationships with psychological safety (research question 2). The results also showed that psychological meaningfulness strongly predicted job engagement (research question 3). In addition, psychological meaningfulness was found to mediate the relationships between job autonomy and job engagement and between financial rewards and job engagement (research question 4). This study offers three distinct contributions. First, Kahn's (1990) theory of engagement at work has been further empirically supported, further evidencing the mediating role of psychological meaningfulness in the relationships between job elements and job engagement and evidencing the effects of job elements on psychological meaningfulness and the effect of work context on psychological safety. Second, psychological meaningfulness substantially predicted job engagement. Lastly, the findings indicate that the effects of rewards may depend more on how strongly they satisfy psychological needs rather than whether the rewards are intrinsic or extrinsic. Implications for theory, future research, and practice are discussed.
