EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT: A REVIEW OF TYPES, ANTECEDENTS, AND OUTCOMES
Keywords:
leadership, style, engagement, employeeAbstract
Employee engagement is a critical factor influencing individual performance and organizational success. This study explores the multidimensional nature of engagement, its antecedents, and its outcomes, emphasizing the importance of supportive environments and effective leadership in fostering engagement. Drawing from key theoretical frameworks and empirical research, the study identifies cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions of engagement, highlighting the role of meaningful work, recognition, and leadership styles, particularly transformational and servant leadership, in enhancing engagement.
The findings demonstrate that engaged employees exhibit higher levels of job satisfaction, well-being, and organizational commitment, while organizations benefit from reduced turnover, improved productivity, and enhanced customer satisfaction. Conversely, passive-avoidant leadership and lack of recognition diminish engagement, emphasizing the need for active managerial practices.
By synthesizing the literature, the study provides actionable insights for organizations to develop strategies that foster engagement and sustain competitive advantage. It concludes with recommendations for future research to examine engagement within diverse organizational contexts and emerging workplace trends. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on employee engagement, offering practical and theoretical implications for cultivating a motivated and high-performing workforce.
