Purpose
This paper aims to develop the readers’ understanding of the transforming role of job engagement (JOB) drivers, specifically for Gen Z in information technology (IT) Companies across India. It measures the association of JOB and perceived organizational support (POS), perceived supervisor support (PSS) and co-worker relationship (COP) with a very special reference to Gen Z.
Design/methodology/approach
A total of 302 survey-based responses were collected. To test the conceptualized model of JOB, structural equation modeling was used. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using the AMOS platform toward determining the reliability and validity of the individual constructs and the overall model.
Findings
All three dimensions, namely, POS, PSS and COP, are positively related to JOB. Out of the three, the most contributing extent in engaging Gen Z is PSS.
Research limitations/implications
A conceptual framework of Gen Z engagement drivers could help human resource (HR) researchers fine-tune Gen Z employees’ retention strategy. The paper shows that it is not about pandering to them but about eliminating blocks so that Gen Z can deliver the future business.
Practical implications
The outcomes may aid establishments and policymakers in advancing and improving HRs policies in engaging Gen Z, who have started entering the organizations.
Originality/value
JOB practices can add to the determinations of the HRs processes in the IT start-ups organizations in dealing with Gen Z. This research reconnoiters the drivers of engagement strategies directly impacting JOB Gen Z.
This article reports on an ethically cleared investigation into the relationship between employee wellness and employee engagement in the context of a parastatal organisation in South Africa. "Employee wellness" and "employee engagement" are fundamental concepts for organisations seeking optimum performance and wishing to remain sustainable and competitive in highly demanding environments. A cross-sectional, quantitative research approach was used in which data were collected from a random probability sample through an electronic questionnaire. Significant correlations were observed between the work engagement scales and the wellness scales, indicating the existence of a significant direct positive relationship between employee wellness and employee engagement. The results of the empirical study could practically influence behaviours at an organisational level and may make a positive contribution to existing literature on employee wellness and employee engagement within a parastatal.
