This book provides an evidence-based approach to understanding declining
levels of employee engagement, offering a set of practices that
individuals and organizations can adopt in order to improve productivity
and organizational performance. It introduces a model outlining how the
experience of meaningful work impacts engagement and other
organizational attitudes and behaviors. It recognizes the antecedents
and consequences of such behavior, recognizing that they must be
considered as components of an organizational system rather than in
isolation. It will be useful for scholars and practitioners in
identifying and remedying the endemic trend of disconnected workers and
their negative impact on organizational goals.
