Summary

Introduction

In this contemporary world across globe especially after the start of 21st century, organizational structures are evolving rapidly but the transformation in the workforce is observed due to due to demographic shifts (Waseem, Frooghi, & Khan, 2016) and workforce diversity (Yadav & Katiyar, 2017). Employee engagement because of its significance has received increased attention of researchers’ in academic, business practitioners, and at governmental level (Yalabik, Popaitoon, Chowne, & Rayton, 2013; Waseem et al, 2016) This highlights the importance and responsibility of employing enterprises to provide a supportive culture to their employees where they can remain committed and highly engaged with their jobs (Storm & Rothmann, 2003; Bailey, Madden, Alfes, & Fletcher, 2017). The construct of employee engagement is not new but is definitely is the one that required clarification vis-a-vis other work related existing constructs (Macey & Schneider, 2008; Hallberg & Schaufeli, 2006) and its theoretical conceptualizations (Shuck & Wollard, 2010) It is more than 25 years since Kahn wrote first time about ‘personal engagement’ with work, discussing if the employees opt to invest and engross themselves fully and authentically in their working roles. Performance management helps employers to direct and focus their employees’ efforts but sometimes even currently highly engaged employees, can experience burnout (Waseem et al, 2016; Mone & London, 2018)
