Employees’ Defining and Driving Work Engagement in the University of Bohol
Abstract
Employee engagement in this study is all about employees finding meaning in their work, and commitment to support organizational goals. This spurred the conduct of this study which assesses the profile of the tenured employees of the University of Bohol and their level of engagement in terms of defining and driving engagement. This study is using descriptive normative method that employed quantitative and qualitative method and data analysis and interpretation using frequencies, percentages and weighted mean. On defining their work engagement, employees strongly agree or were highly engaged/committed in their work and on drivers of engagement they agree or were motivated/driven in their work. Although the study yielded positive results as to defining and driving work engagement on the perception of the tenured nonteaching employees of the institution, there is a need to look into ways to sustain employees’ engagement for the success of its organizational goals.
