The relationship of employee engagement and wellbeing to organisational and student outcomes

Year: 2012

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Employee engagement is gaining popularity in management literature; however it remains an unclear and somewhat undifferentiated psychological construct. Self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985) outlines three basic psychological needs that enhance human flourishing and offers a potentially comprehensive framework for defining and predicting employee engagement. This paper reviews the literature surrounding employee engagement, well-being and perceived autonomy support in organisations. In doing so, this paper examines existing theories of employee engagement. Finally, this paper reviews the literature regarding the relationship between employee engagement and organisational outcomes.
