Psychological Conditions of Personal Engagement and Disengagement at Work

William A. Kahn

Academy of Management Journal 1990

“Personal Engagement is the simultaneous employment and expression of a person’s ‘preferred self’ in task behaviors that promote connections to work and to others, personal presence (physical, cognitive and emotional), and active, full role performance.”

“But all the others have a part to play…”

Page 17: VaLUENTiS Employee Engagement EE Summit pres 160413 final dist copy

5. What is the connection between job satisfaction and job performance…?

Page 18: VaLUENTiS Employee Engagement EE Summit pres 160413 final dist copy

6. Complete this ‘well-known phrase’: “If employee engagement was the

answer, …………………………......?”

Page 19: VaLUENTiS Employee Engagement EE Summit pres 160413 final dist copy

19

Absenteeism, turnover, ill-discipline, manager resistance, communication and/or trust issues etc are all, to a great degree, manifestations of poor employee engagement in some form.

“Many case studies and indeed academic comment, however, seem to ignore this fact. Thus, we’re seemingly praising ourselves for putting a fire out – the very one we started as an organisation! What happened to the ‘Why’ in the first instance?

As an industry practitioner question - What’s going on here?”

The first 100 days…

Back to the ‘Six Pillars’…

EE PLAYBOOK

1. Grounded understanding of Employee Engagement

2. Working definition of Employee Engagement

3. Measurement wisdom

4. Actioning infrastructure

5. Dynamic EE-Performance ‘playbook’

DELETE 6. Competent leadership/management

Organisations and employee engagement:

Play down

‘We don’t...’

Play act

‘It’s all about PR…’

Play safe

‘At least we audit/ benchmark...’

Play make

‘We do it…’

The four progressive states of employee engagement

embeddedness in organisations

Page 23: VaLUENTiS Employee Engagement EE Summit pres 160413 final dist copy

Little. Limited.

Mostly ephemeral in nature.

Exists in pockets with variation in line management.

Good working knowledge embedded across

organisation.

No definition in use. Most likely borrowed

without any real ownership, or ‘false’ ownership.

Maybe borrowed with internalisation or adapted after some organisational

focus.

Distributed ‘ownership’, whether borrowed, adapted

or created.

Limited to absenteeism metrics, employee surveys

seen as event driven if done.

Probably undertaking surveys but with no valid

construct; response rate/PR main focus.

Will do measurement basics, even to the extent of

engagement index etc. Tick box is main focus.

People management evaluation/measurement

seen as ‘core’ on a par with CRM , finance etc.

Probably in the form of basic training/management

courses.

Probably in the form of basic management courses. Most likely carry out some form of

branded programme.

Will have a number of actioning elements in place but not necessarily joined

up.

Will have necessary ‘toolkit’ to hand with ongoing programmes to suit organisation focus.

Does not exist.

May have something articulated on ‘strategies’.

Most likely collection of irrelevant case studies.

Playbook in the form of ‘manager manual’ or on-line knowledge-share. Still being

developed.

Easy access in different e-/physical formats at

different levels. Signals ‘embedded’ intent.

Will have varied mix of skilled people managers. Existing good performers

more through luck.

Will have varied mix of skilled people managers. Existing good performers

more through luck.

Will have varied mix of skilled people managers but level of competency higher than Play-Act organisations.

Cohort of well-trained people managers exists with

talent pools. Regular evaluation/reinforcement.

This is an example where front-line client projects meet management learning. VaLUENTiS has customised Harvard/ECCH case studies by adding employee engagement profiles along with human capital data and analytics to create a far more enriched and practical learning experience for managers/practitioners. It’s also unique and cheap to deliver (and also effectively on-demand).

Little. Limited.

Mostly ephemeral in nature.

Exists in pockets with variation in line management.

Good working knowledge embedded across

organisation.

No definition in use. Most likely borrowed

without any real ownership, or ‘false’ ownership.

Maybe borrowed with internalisation or adapted after some organisational

focus.

Distributed ‘ownership’, whether borrowed, adapted

or created.

Limited to absenteeism metrics, employee surveys

seen as event driven if done.

Probably undertaking surveys but with no valid

construct; response rate/PR main focus.

Will do measurement basics, even to the extent of

engagement index etc. Tick box is main focus.

People management evaluation/measurement

seen as ‘core’ on a par with CRM , finance etc.

Probably in the form of basic training/management

courses.

Probably in the form of basic management courses. Most likely carry out some form of

branded programme.

Will have a number of actioning elements in place but not necessarily joined

up.

Will have necessary ‘toolkit’ to hand with ongoing programmes to suit organisation focus.

Does not exist.

May have something articulated on ‘strategies’.

Most likely collection of irrelevant case studies.

Playbook in the form of ‘manager manual’ or on-line knowledge-share. Still being

developed.

Easy access in different e-/physical formats at

different levels. Signals ‘embedded’ intent.

Will have varied mix of skilled people managers. Existing good performers

more through luck.

Will have varied mix of skilled people managers. Existing good performers

more through luck.

Will have varied mix of skilled people managers but level of competency higher than Play-Act organisations.

Cohort of well-trained people managers exists with

talent pools. Regular evaluation/reinforcement.

“For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.

Richard Feynman, Appendix F on the Challenger Disaster Enquiry

Thus with respect to employee engagement:

“For a successful (human) technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for (human) nature cannot be fooled.”

Something to ponder..

‘Get with the programme.’

‘Join them dots.’

‘Watch out for the tank traps.’

Three phrases we constantly use…
