Positioning Employee Engagement In Organisational Structure

Abstract

Considering organisations as a complex entity with structures, actors and multifarious interests co- newline existing, the research seeks to understand the character of various types of organisation differing newline in its constitution. The research travels through the experiences of Public Sector, Private Sector newline and Cooperative Society employees to unravel the nuances of engagement in their existing newline structure. Placing Knowledge as the key premise, the research explores the possibilities of newline engagement of the organisation man. While moving through variables which define and newline sometimes defy bounds in rationality, the study brings to light the inherent features of the newline organisation structure and how it influences the actors who form a crucial part of the scheme of newline things. The research thus brings forth the key enablers for engagement and specifically explores newline the standpoint of knowledge in the larger structure of the organisation. newline The discussions and discourses with the employee actors revealed such unique facets of the newline organisation which otherwise would not have been considered key in driving the organisational newline interests. During the course of the research, in addition to the themes touched upon by the extant newline literature, a fresh perspective was put forth by the argument that Dignity is the basis for newline engagement across structures. In largely all the organisational systems, dignified processes and newline practices either their presence or absence was felt to be influential. In some cases they led to a newline clear demarcation between the interests of the employee actor and that of the organisation. The newline ways in which the organisational actors have been engaged across systems were thus delved upon newline in detail. The revelation from the research is the closeness to the theory that believes that the newline continuous engagement is kept alive through strong systemic belief in dignified workplace culture. newline When the structure believes in knowledge as a means for engagement, dignity further strengthens newline it to make the culture so formed to be more reciprocating. This also leads to further thoughts on newline whether such an installation could be organic or cosmetic. These are some questions that the newline research leaves for the researchers to further explore. newline
