Abstract
Employee engagement is an important result in management theory and practice. However,
in that location are still major differences in the concept, theory, influencing factors and outcomes of
employee engagement, and in that location is withal no administrative standard. This paper attempts to
review and summarize previous research results on employee date. Two kinds of
definitions of employee engagement are identified: employee engagement as a multi-faceted
construct (cognition, emotions and behaviors) and as a unitary construct (a positive state of
heed, a dedicated willingness, the contrary of burnout). Three theoretical frameworks are
used to explain the varying degrees of employee appointment: Needs-Satisfaction framework,
Job Demands-Resources model and Social Exchange Theory. The influencing factors of
employee engagement are divided into iii categories: organizational factors (management
style, job rewards, etc.), task factors (work surround, task characteristics, etc.) and
individual factors (physical energies, self-consciousness, etc.). Employee engagement is
establish to have a positive relationship with individual functioning (organizational
commitment, positive behavior, etc.) and organizational performance (customer satisfaction,
financial return, etc.) The enquiry findings show that there are three shortcomings in
previous studies: lack of research on demographic variables, personality differences and
cross-cultural differences in employee date, lack of research on the mediating or

one. Introduction
Employee Date has been a hot research topic among positive psychologists, human
resource researchers and management practitioners in contempo years. Because of the emergence
of positive psychology, work engagement, equally a positive aspect of psychology, is increasingly
pop in occupational wellness psychology. Engaged employees take a sense of energetic and
effective connection with their work activities and encounter themselves as able to bargain well with
the demands of their job (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2004). Due to the needs of business concern practice,
many consulting organizations are conducting continuous research on employee engagement
by surveying employers and employees. Despite a plethora of research on employee
engagement, there is a lack of the consistency in its definitions, measures, antecedents and
outcomes. Likewise, due to cultural differences, the same engagement techniques exercise not
necessarily work for employees in all countries. In the global context, there is no systematic
review of the results of the study on employee engagement to date. This review examined the
electronic bookish journals of EBSCO database, DOAJ database, Google Scholar and CNKI
database, electronic books and newspaper books in English and Chinese.
Objectives of Study
1) Synthesize the definitions and theoretical basis of employee date.
2) Synthesize the antecedents associated with employee engagement
3) Synthesize the outcomes associated with employee engagement
2. Definitions of Employee Engagement
In that location are different definitions of employee engagement among different scholars,
organizations and different countries (Table ane). The concept of employee engagement was
first proposed past Kahn (1990) as the harnessing of organization members' selves to their
work roles; self-employment and self-expression of people physically, cognitively, and
emotionally in their work lives. Since Kahn proposed this concept, researchers take proposed
different definitions which reflect different understanding of employee appointment in each
study, merely this caused confusion for business management whether the efforts which meliorate
employee engagement are working in all organizations.
ii.1 Employee Engagement as a Multi-faceted Construct
May et al. (2004) stated that employee engagement included not only cognition, but too the
flexible application of emotions and behaviors. Wellins and Concelman (2005) stated that
engagement is a mixture of commitment, loyalty, productivity, and ownership. Saks (2006)
divers employee engagement equally a ―different and unique concept‖ which is composed of
cognition, emotion and behavior. Cha (2007) defined employee engagement as the
employee's agile involvement in piece of work and the state of full physiology, knowledge, and
emotion that accompanies the work engagement, including three dimensions: work

engagement, organizational recognition, and sense of work value. Macey and Schneider
(2008) suggested to regard employee date as a wide-ranging term which contains
different types of engagement (traits appointment, psychological country date, behavioral
date), and each ane needs dissimilar conceptualizations, such equally proactive personality
(traits engagement), involvement (psychological land engagement) and organizational
citizenship behavior (behavioral appointment). Bakker (201ane) summed the engagement equally a
positive, highly awakened emotional country with two features: free energy, and involvement. Soane
et al. (2012) developed a model of employee engagement that has iii requirements: a
work-role focus, activation and positive touch on. Xu et al. (2013) divided employee
date into four dimensions: organizational identity, work attitude, mental state,
responsibility effectiveness. Xiao and Duan (2014) stated that employee date was a
conceptualization including five dimensions: initiative, loyalty, effectiveness, identity and
delivery. Liu (2016) stated that employee engagement of knowledge worker was
composed of v dimensions: organizational identity, dedication, absorption, vigor, pleasant
harmony.
two.ii Employee Engagement every bit a Defended Willingness
Hewitt Organization (2001) referred to employee engagement as the extent employees are
willing to stay in the company and work hard for the company, reflected in three aspects: 1)
―Say‖: employees utilise a positive language to draw their visitor, colleagues, and their
jobs. two) ―Due southtay‖: employees strongly hope to exist a fellow member of the company, desire to stay in the
company for a long fourth dimension, instead of using existing jobs as a temporary transition. 3) ―Strive‖:
employees are willing to devote extra effort to work for the success of the company. Towers
organization (2001) divers employee engagement as the degree of willingness and ability of
employees to help companies succeed, dividing it into rational engagement and sensuous
engagement. Rational date generally involves the relationship betwixt individuals
and companies, such as the degree of employees' understanding of their roles and
departmental roles. When work can bring money, professional skills or personal development
and other benefits, employees volition generate the sense of rational date. Sensuous
appointment depends on employee satisfaction, and the sense of self-achievement from task as
a chiliadember of the organization (Fang et al., 2010). Xie (2006) pointed out that employee
engagement is employee' dedication to a profession, including hard work, dedicated to the
visitor, loyal to the boss, and self-conviction.
2.3 Employee Date as a Positive State of Mind
Schaufeli et al. (2002) divers engagement every bit a positive, fulfilling, piece of work-related country of heed
that is characterized past vigor, dedication, and absorption, and a more than persistent and pervasive
affective-cognitive state that is not focused on whatever specific object, event, individual, or
behavior. Harter et al. (2002) divers employee date equally the individual'due south involvement
and satisfaction with every bit well every bit enthusiasm for piece of work. Zeng and Han (2005) referred to
employee engagement as having a long-lasting, positive emotional and motivational state of
awakening their piece of work, ready to devote themselves to work at any fourth dimension, and are accompanied
past pleasant, proud, and encouraging experiences during work.

two.iv Employee Appointment as the Opposite of Exhaustion
Maslach et al. (2001) stated that appointment is an due eastnergy, participation, and effectiveness,
corresponding with three features of burnout: exhaustion, cynicism and reduced professional person
efficacy, and engagement and burnout are two ends of a continuum. Schaufeli and Bakker
(2004) stated that vigor and dedication are straight opposites of exhaustion and cynicism,
respectively. González-Romá et al. (2006) expanded ii groups of opposite dimensions
(emotional burnout-vigor, cynicism-dedication) as 2 different and latent dimensions
(free energy and identity). Demerouti et al. (2010) stated that pessimism and dedication are 2
ends of ―identity‖ dimension, while emotional exhaustion and vigor are not supported as two
ends of the ―energy‖ dimension.

three. Theoretical Frameworks of Employee Engagement
A wide range of theoretical frameworks have been used to explain employee engagement.
Dissimilar researchers explain employee engagement from different theoretical perspectives in
their own empirical study. There is no unique theoretical framework for employee
date to appointment. In this review, needs-satisfaction framework, JD-R Framework and
social exchange theory are discussed to explain employee engagement every bit follows (Table two).
The needs-satisfaction framework is first reflected in Kahn'southward (1990) definition of date.
Kahn (1990) supposed that employees are more engaged in their piece of work, when 3
psychological needs are satisfied: meaningfulness (sense of return on investments of self in
function performance), condom (sense of beingness able to show and employ cocky without fearfulness of
negative consequences to self-prototype, status, or career), availability (sense of possessing the
concrete, emotional, and psychological resources necessary for investing self in office
performances). When the arrangement fails to provide these resource, individuals are more
likely to withdraw and defend themselves from their roles. Meaningfulness is influenced by
the nature of the job; that is, its tasks, roles, and work interactions. Psychological prophylactic is
mainly influenced by the social environment; that is, by interpersonal relationships, grouping
and intergroup dynamics, management style and process, and organizational norms. Finally,
availability depends on the personal resources that people can bring to their role performance,
such as physical energies, emotional energies, insecurity and outside life.
Employee date is also affected by Job Demands-Resources Model (Salanova et al.,
2005; Bakker et al., 2005; Hakanen et al., 2006; Schaufeli et al., 2009; Xanthopoulou et al.,
2009; Crawford et al., 2010; Salminen et al., 2014). Job Demands–Resource (JD–R) model
believe that different organizations may exist confronted with different working environments,
but the characteristics of these environments can be always classified in ii general
categories— job demands and task resources — thus constituting an overarching model that
may be practical to various occupational settings, irrespective of the particular demands and
resources involved. Job demands refer to those physical, psychological, social, or
organizational aspects of the task that require sustained concrete and/or psychological
(cognitive and emotional) try and are therefore associated with certain physiological and/or

twenty19, Vol. 9, No. 1
http://ijhrs.macrothink.org
psychological costs. Examples are a loftier piece of work force per unit area, part overload, poor environmental
conditions and problems related to reorganization. Task resource refer to those physical,
psychological, social, or organizational aspects of the job that are either/or: (i) functional in
achieving work goals; (2) reduce job demands and the associated physiological and
psychological costs; (three) stimulate personal growth and development (Bakker et al., 2003).
Thus, the JD-R model can explain the assumption that employees are more likely to engage
with their work when they become job-related resources from the organization.
A stronger theoretical rationale for explaining employee appointment can be found in social
exchange theory (SET). Levinson (1965) stated that employment is a transaction between
labor, loyalty and actual interest, and social rewards. To a sure extent, the relationship
betwixt employee and employer is arrangeable for reciprocity, in which a request for render volition
atomic number 82 to beneficial results to both parties no affair who proceeds the preferential treatment.
Masterson et al. (2000) proposed that one party expects a render in the future subsequently
contributing or providing services to the other party. At the same time, the party that gets
something of value volition produce a sense of responsibility to return the other party. For
individuals who have helped them, employees volition actively give a return to gain more than
benefits in the future. Many scholars analyzed the relationship between organization and
members based on social commutation theory. Employees are loyal to the organization and work
difficult in exchange for economic benefits and social rewards, establishing the
organization-employee relationship. Eisenberger et al. (1986) stated that loftier levels of
perceived organizational back up create obligations inside individuals to repay the
organization, thereby demonstrating an attitude and behavior conducive to the organization.
Saks (2006) argued that 1 way for individuals to repay their organisation is through their
level of engagement. In other words, employees will choose to appoint themselves to varying
degrees in response to the resources they received from their organisation.

4. Antecedents and Outcomes of Employee Appointment
Employee engagement refers to employees' concrete, cognitive and emotional input in the
work. Past researches showed that the influencing factors of employee appointment can be
summarized as three categories: organizational factors (leadership, superior support, job
resource, fairness, etc.), task factors (work environment, task participation, job enrichment,
etc.) and private factors (extraversion, resilience, self-consciousness, etc.). The research
on consequences of employee engagement mainly focus on 2 aspects—the influence of
employee date on private performance (enthusiasm, excellence, satisfaction,
devotion, etc.) and on organizational performance (productivity, profitability, customer
loyalty, etc.)

4.one Antecedents of Employee Engagement
The ancestor variables of employee engagement can be divided into three categories:
organizational factors, job factordue south and individual factors (come across Table 3). Most of researches
focus on one or two of the three factors, except for the research of May et al. (2004). Kahn
(1990) proposed that chore characteristics, role characteristics, work interaction, group and
inter-group dynamics, management style & process, organizational norms have an influence
on employee engagement. Harter et al. (2002) pointed out that piece of work environment, direct
supervisor, senior management team, colleagues have an influence on employee date.
Salanova and Schaufeli (2008) stated that job control, job participation, chore feedback, job
rewards, job security, supervisor support have an influence on employee appointment. May et
al. (2004) stated that job enrichment, work role fit, rewarding co-worker, supportive
supervisor and cocky-consciousness have an influence on employee engagement. Zhang and
Gan (2005) found that back up, sense of fairness, interpersonal consumption, and conflict
have an influence on employee engagement. The research of Langelaan et al. (2006) landd
that neuroticism, extraversion and mobility accept an influence on employee engagement.
Job demands-resources theory believes that chore resource and personal resources
independently or together predict employee engagement. When high chore requirements are
required, task resource and personal resources take a more positive affect on employee
engagement. Therefore, job resource and task demands are two very important antecedent
variables for employee engagement. Task resources can reduce the impact of job demands,
promote chore goal and stimulate personal growth, learning and development. Schaufeli and
Bakker (2004), Bakker and Demerouti (2008), Xanthopoulou et al. (2009) stated that the
available task resources are the main predictors of engagement. Farndale's (2015) written report
showed that sure job resources (financial returns, team atmosphere, participation in
decision-making) positively affect eastwardmployee appointment in three countries (Mexico,
Netherlands, and the United States). The cross-cultural theory was used to explain the
differ
In terms of personal resources, dedicated employees seem to be different from other
employees, including optimism, self-efficacy, and cocky-esteem, resilience, positive coping
mode, and demographic variables. These resources can help dedicated employee control and
influence their work environment, so personal resource can promote employee dedication.
Bakker et al. (2006) found that resilience is an private resource that promotes employee
engagement in the study of female headmasters. Xanthopoulou (2009) also studied personal
resources such as self-efficacy, cocky-esteem, and optimism as important factors in predicting
engagement. Empirical analysis of Rich et al. (2010) showed that nuclear self-evaluation
(self-esteem, cocky-efficacy, control points and stable emotion) and engagement are positively
correlated. Simbula et al. (2011) found that self-efficacy has a short-term (4 months) and
long-term (8 months) lag impact on engagement. Christian et al. (201one) showed that there is a
positive correlation betwixt responsibleness, positive emotions, positive personality, and
engagement. Gan and Gan's (2014) empirical study showed that extraversion,
conscientiousness touch on appointment through job requirements or resource. The study of
Roof (2015) showed that there is a relationship between spirituality and vigor and dedication.

http://ijhrs.macrothink.org
Thompson et al. (2015) stated the direct and indirect touch of positive psychological capital
on employee engagement. In the longitudinal study of Korean hotel employees, Paek et al.
(2015) found that front-line staff with loftier psychological capital invest more than in their own
work.

4.two Outcomes of Employee Engagement
At present, the enquiry on employee engagement outcomes are mainly focused on 2
aspects— individual performance and organizational functioning, among which, the
human relationship between employee engagement and organizational performance is the focus of
current research (Table four).
Defended employees are more active in their work, have better health, and perform improve
(Susana et al., 2007). Compared with employees who areastward not dedicated, dedicated employees
go more satisfaction from piece of work, college organizational commitment, and less willingness to
leave the system (Yang, 2005). Dedicated employees have positive beliefs (Wilmar &
Arnold, 2006). Overall, dedicated employees take more agile organizational behaviors and
are willing to pay more. This has been validated in the study of Dutch employees, in which
engaged employees have more overtime than disengaged employees (Sonnentag, 2003).
Salanova et al. (2005) studied the human relationship between organizational resource, employee
engagement, and employee functioning. Based on a survey of 342 employees in 1xiv hotels,
it was concluded that organizational resources can accept a positive touch on on employee
engagement, in turn, employee engagement will accept a positive impact on employee
operation. Saks (2006), based on the research conducted on 102 employees from different
organizations, concluded that employee engagement has a positive affect on organizational
citizenship behavior. In the theoretical model synthetic by Bakker and Demerouti (2008),
employee engagement has a positive upshot on employees' out-of-role performance.
Some empirical researched showed that there is a positive correlation betwixt employee
engagement and organizational functioning. Harter et al. (2002) research showed that the
correlation between employee appointment and employee turnover is -0.30, the correlation

ISSN 2162-3058
twenty19, Vol. 9, No. 1
http://ijhrs.macrothink.org
with client satisfaction is 0.33, and the correlation with employee turn a profit is 0.17. Salanova
et al. (2005) found that the level of employee appointment can affect the arrangement's
service climate through the written report of the quality of hotel and restaurant services, and thus
touch on the performance of employees and customer loyalty. Wyatt Consulting's inquiry
showed that employee engagement is closely related to shareholder returns. The average
render to shareholders by employees with lower engagement, medium date, and loftier
appointment within 3 years are 76 percent, xc percent and 112 percent, respectively (Zhao &
Sun, 2010). Xanthopoulou et al. (2009) stated that employee engagement tin can have a positive
effect on the financial functioning of the organization. Based on human strengths, after years
of empirical analysis, Harter et al. (2002) proved that employee engagement is a ―soft index‖
that affects organizational functioning, and information technology is related to the five major indicators of
organizational functioning—productivity, profitability, customer loyalty, employee retentiveness,
and security.

5.1 Summary
Employee engagement is an of import concept to organizational leaders and employees akin.
This newspaper, through the review of definitions, theories, antecedents and outcomes of
employee appointment, highlighted what the body of research has indicated on the topic of
employee appointment. Employee date usually refers to employees' physical,

cognitive and emotional input in the work. Needs-Satisfaction framework, Chore
Demands-Resources model and Social Commutation Theory have been used to explicate varying
levels of employee engagement in the organizations. According to Needs-Satisfaction
framework, employees' sense of meaningfulness of piece of work elements, job security and the
availability of personal resources determine their appointment in role performances.
According to JD-R model, loftier-levels of task-related and personal resources can reduce the
burnout and other negative outcomes acquired by job demands which require employees to
pay additional efforts. According to social exchange theory, relationships betwixt employees
and employers are based on norms of reciprocity. When employees feel that they are beingness
treated well and valued by their employer, they are more than likely to answer by exerting attempt
on behalf of the employer in the form of raised levels of appointment (Alfes et al., 2013a).
With regard to variables related to employee engagement, antecedent variables mainly
include three categories: organizational factors, job factors and individual factors, and
outcome variables are mainly focused on private performance and organizational
performance.
5.two Discussion
The literature review of employee engagement reflected the following results. Offset,
employee engagement starts with the personal work experience and is a typically individual
conclusion that cannot exist forced. Information technology involves individual employees, not organizations. Therefore,
employee engagement is an private-level concept, not a group-level concept. Second,
employee engagement is an active, work-related psychological state that includes perceptions,
emotions, and behaviors, with the features of free energy and involvement. Thus, appointment tin can
be experienced emotionally, cognitively, and be displayed behaviorally. Third, the
human relationship between burnout and engagement is complicated. The empirical results showed
that burnout and engagement were ii ends of the aforementioned continuum in 1 dimension
(cynicism-dedication), simply independent of each other in another dimension (emotional
burnout-vigor). Therefore, engagement cannot but exist expressed in the contrary way
of burnout scores merely requires a specialized and independent measurement. Fourth, employee
engagement is a composite of attitude and behavior. The dedication, involvement, and other
cognitive and emotional components in the engagement reflect the attitudes of the employees,
while vigor and absorption reverberate the employees' physical input and are displayed through
employee beliefs. Fifth, most of researches focus on the influencing factors (organizational,
individual, task) of employee engagement, this indicates employee engagement is a widely
concerned result amongst the academia and business practitioners. Besides, the contributions of
employee engagement to organizational performance indicates the critical part of engaged
employees to the success of an enterprise.
5.3 Limitation
This newspaper made a literature review of employee engagement, simply this review does not
capture all the studies in areas related to employee engagement considering of the limited time
and resources. First, this review examined only some studies published in peer-viewed
journals and books which are mainly viewed online. Second, there are too many research

findings about the definitions, theoretical ground, antecedents and outcomes of employee
engagement, this newspaper only reviewed southome of them according to the writer's propensity
which volition inevitably lead to bias and incompleteness of the review of employee date.
Third, employee engagement in this review refers to individual appointment, not involving
team engagement and organizational engagement.
v.4 Recommendations for Future Research
A wide range of studies take been conducted on employee appointment since Kahn (1990)
made up the concept of appointment (Kahn, 1990), only there is even so much research to be done
in the area of employee date. From this literature review, in that location seems to be a lack of
inquiry focusing on the bear on of employees' demographics, personality traits and cultural
differences on engagement. The comparative studies of cross-national employee engagement
are deficient except for famous Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. Besides, the researches on
employee engagement are mainly focused on its antecedents and outcomes, neglecting the
mediating or moderating part of employee engagement between some variables. Finally, this
review shows a major deficiency that researchers have to pay attention to, that is, there is a
lack of the research on the intervention measures which all-time reverberate the practical values of
employee date research in the man resources management field. Therefore, information technology'southward my
hope that time to come research tin explore the mediating or moderating role of employee
engagement, enrich the antecedents of employee engagement past adding factors of
demographics, personality, cross-civilization, and make empirical studies on the intervention
measures improving employee engagement by longitudinal survey then as to better guide
management practice.

Emergent empirical work related to engagement and spirituality has supported the promise of improving both organizational functioning and employee atmospheric condition.

Empirical back up was found for relationships between individual spirituality and engagement, vigor, and dedication but non for the engagement dimension of absorption. The findings should encourage farther future exploration of the human relationship between spirituality and engagement and inquiry into why results differ across date'south dimensions; specifically, why the human relationship was not supported for absorption.
