INTRODUCTION

Employee engagement is the level of commitment and involvement an employee

has towards their organization and its values. In engagement, people employ and
express themselves physically, cognitively, and emotionally during role
performances. An engaged employee is aware of business context, and works with
colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit of the
organization. The organization must work to develop and nurture engagement,
which requires a two-way relationship between employer and employee.’ Thus
Employee engagement is a barometer that determines the association of a person
with the organization. Engagement is most closely associated with the existing
construction of job involvement. Job involvement is defined as ‘the degree to
which the job situation is central to the person and his other identity .Job
involvement results form a cognitive judgment about the needs satisfying abilities
of the job. Jobs in this view are tied to one’s self image. Engagement differs from
job in as it is concerned more with how the individual employees his/her self
during the performance of his / her job.
Categories of Employee Engagement
According to the Gallup the Consulting organization there are there are different types
of people:-

 Engaged:-
Engaged employees are builders. They want to know the desired expectations for their
role so they can meet and exceed them. They're naturally curious about their company
and their place in it. They perform at consistently high levels. They want to use their
talents and strengths at work every day. They work with passion and they drive
innovation and move their organization forward.

Not Engaged:-
Not-engaged employees tend to concentrate on tasks rather than the goals and
outcomes they are expected to accomplish. They want to be told what to do just so
they can do it and say they have finished. They focus on accomplishing tasks vs.
achieving an outcome. Employees who are not-engaged tend to feel their contributions
are being overlooked, and their potential is not being tapped.

Actively Disengaged:-
The actively disengaged employees are the cave dwellers." They are Consistently
against Virtually Everything." They are not just unhappy at work; they're busy acting
out their unhappiness. Every day, actively disengaged workers undermine what their
engaged coworkers accomplish. As workers increasingly rely on each other to
generate products and services, the problems and tensions that are fostered by actively
disengaged workers can cause great damage to an organization's functioning.
Introduction to Organization

An institute initiated to impart quality education to the youth while equipping them
with knowledge and skills which would enable them to leave their individual
marks in the business world. KIIT institute for Higher Education strives to create a
niche of talented managers who make meaningful contributions to global
businesses. Offering academic programs at both undergraduate and postgraduate
levels, KIIT allows aspiring managers to get a comprehensive view of the business
world KIIT institute entered the education industry responding to the gap in quality
education at post graduate level. The Post Graduate Program (PGP), a full time
program worked around our principals of imparting quality education to
individuals on the threshold of their careers. The specializations were designed
keeping in mind the specific needs of the Indian industry and corporate
expectations. Motivated by our success and the emerging need for executive
programs, we have recently launched executive MBA programs. The thirst for
education by the public has also resulted in the commencement of diploma
programs in areas such as Telecom, Insurance, and Banking and Finance Services.
Realizing the need for holistic development in comparison to fragmented education
which has been previously the norm, KIIT looks beyond employment as managers
and works towards shaping individuals to be great managers. Through skills of
lifetime relevance we aim at developing students to their true potential. Modules
such as image management, language modules, public relations, personality
development workshops hold an integral part of the overall curriculum.
Professionalism, critical thinking and good communication skills have become
synonyms with KIIT graduates. Teachers provide the path towards each
individual’s goal and abiding with this philosophy, we have faculty strength of 91
along with an intensive curriculum. Individual attention is the crux of our success.

values that are followed for carrying business and this may be area where
management needs to look in. This may not hold importance as far as these values
doesn’t hamper employee’s productivity and leads to cause dissatisfaction.
