The Organisation of Work and Employee Engagement

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The organisation of work is the relationship between workforce engagement, the organisation’s structure, leadership and management and how they implement policies and procedures; power and politics and finally the impact of technology and how its applications affect the working environment. An assumption is that employee engagement is a function both of high levels of individual commitment and organisational forces that are at play in both day to day operations and strategic direction. In this context, organisational alignment and employee engagement are interdependent. Engagement is more likely to occur in an aligned work environment with workplace structures with a clear line of sight between organisational goals, and individual job or role specifications and performance management systems that enhance the opportunity to achieve these goals.
