Abstract:

Employee engagement -- the powerful phenomenon that can propel companies to new levels of profitability -- is never more important than in times of economic stress. But can you define it? And do you know how to make it happen in your business? Angelo Kinicki, the Weatherup/Overby Chair in Leadership in the W. P. Carey School's Department of Management, has been researching employee engagement and has taken his ideas into practice through consulting. Knowledge@W. P. Carey spent some time with Kinicki recently to learn what he and other researchers have to say about the nature of employee engagement.
