In recent years there has been a weight of evidence suggesting that
engagement has a significantly positive impact on productivity,
performance and organisational advocacy, as well as individual
wellbeing, and a significantly negative impact on intent to quit
and absenteeism from the work place. This comprehensive new book is
unique as it brings together, for the first time, psychological and
critical HRM perspectives on engagement as well as their practical
application. Employee Engagement in Theory and Practice will
familiarise readers with the concepts and core themes that have
been explored in research and their application in a business
context via a set of carefully chosen and highly relevant original
and case studies, some of which are co-authored by invited
practitioners. Written in an accessible manner, this book will be
essential reading for scholars in the field, students studying at
both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as
practitioners interested in finding out more about the theoretical
underpinnings of engagement alongside its practical application.
