Evaluation of the employees’ engagement factors importance methodology including generation Y

Abstract

Employee engagement has a major impact on both, staff performance and overall organisation performance. Factors affecting the level of engagement vary depending on the age of the workers. These differences should be recognised by the organisation and taken into account when increasing workers' engagement. Aim of this article is to introduce a new way how to evaluate the importance of employees' engagement factors including also generation Y and provide the results of practical implementation of pilot research. The methods used to fulfil the aim were the modification and addition of already existing engagement model, which, however, does not reflect the differences of young employees on the labour market, and also Saaty's method of determining weights. To fulfil the objectives, the authors have executed a survey by using the written questionnaire on a sample size of 664 respondents. Main outputs of the article include proposal of adjusted engagement model, questionnaire used to evaluate the importance of engagement's factors and pilot practical application of evaluating the engagement's factors of employees in a selected company.

Research into the ways in which the manager behaves and copes with these situations receives more attention than the characteristics, specification, and taxonomy of demanding situations (Frankovský, 2001).…”

“…Literature on engagement states that employee engagement is considered as a very recent topic, where authors started to take it into consideration and talk about it widely in 2000 [27]. Several definitions were dedicated to conceptualizing the notion.…”

“…[28] have mentioned that employee engagement is the degree of his/her attachment to the organization and how they identify themselves towards it. It has also been reported that employee engagement can occur when people are engaged in their work, and they are concerned and enthusiastic about their job and position and willing to put a lot of effort into it [27]. Furthermore, Kahn [29] (p. 694) who was the first one who introduced the concept, added that employee engagement can occur when "people employ and express themselves physically, cognitively, and emotionally during role performances".…”
