| Summary: | Studies have shown that employee engagement has impact on business results, productivity, customer loyalty and staff turnover. Developed economies realized that development and growth cannot be achieved simply by adding capital or increasing the number of employees; the results stems from the innovation ability of employees and their efficient management. When business needs to do more with less, engaged employees may be the difference between surviving and thriving. Employee engagement is the extent to which employee commitment, both emotional and intellectual, exists relative to accomplishing the work, mission, and vision of the organization. In an empirical study of employee engagement, conducted on a sample of professionals and managers employed in a large Slovenian company (n = 71), we found that 27 percent of managers, included into the survey, are engaged in the job, 66 percent are not engaged, and additional 7 percent are actively not engaged. However, in comparison to the employee engagement in developed economies, the engaged employees’ percentage in the analysed company is comparable to that in the U.S., being higher than the average engagement in Slovenia. |
