Study of Employee Engagement and its Predictors in an Indian Public Sector Undertaking

This article presents an assessment of the level of employee engagement among managers of a public sector undertaking in India. Besides highlighting the level of engagement, the study has identified the predictors of organizational commitment, which was used as an important manifestation of employee engagement. The study is based on primary data collected from 84 managerial employees on a number of parameters relating to employee engagement and its potential predictors. The study has revealed that the level of employee engagement in this organization is quite modest. Three factors, namely, pay, job content and objectivity are found to be the predictors of employee engagement.

Application of the Environmental Assessment Tool (EAT) as a Process Measure for a Worksite Weight Management Intervention

To assess the ability of the Environmental Assessment Tool (EAT) to detect changes over time in workplace physical and social environmental supports for physical activity and nutrition; and predict employee engagement, behavior changes, and biometrics. Analyses utilized site-level (n = 12) EAT scores. Differences-in-difference regressions tested changes in EAT scores over time across treatment sites. Generalized linear mixed models examined the ability of site-level EAT scores to predict individual-level outcomes. Overall, the EAT captured changes in the workplace environmental supports for health promotion over time. However, the ability of EAT scores to predict intervention outcomes was weak. The EAT is a useful tool for monitoring changes in workplace environments over time. Further research is needed regarding the dose or intensity of environmental intervention needed to affect changes in employee behaviors and biometrics.
