| Popis: | Employee engagement combines elements of belonging, commitment, motivation, readiness and productivity. Management plays an important role in employee engagement defining its intensity. The article explores to what extent work engagement is present among Slovenian employees, and which approaches to encouraging work engagement are evaluated by the employees as the most important ones. A sociological survey of 300 employees was conducted. The results of the survey vary greatly. The company success and its development are largely dependent on the quality of employees. The best and most valuable are those employees, who are psychologically and emotionally attached to their work. They are much more useful than those who do not feel those links. The latter only mechanically perform their work following the instructions from above showing formal attitude and lack of enthusiasm. However, the survey shows a high proportion and a growing number of actively disengaged employees. The study analyses the situation with engagement in Slovenian companies, and methods and approaches to employee encouragement and raising satisfaction with their work and with the company. According to the research the highest percentage of satisfaction is marked by respondents of large companies, with major factors being salaries and perspectives of their growth, career opportunities, educational opportunities, relationships with colleagues and management, good working conditions, interesting work, working hours, job security. Possible measures relating to human resources management are suggested in order to improve employee engagement. |
