Abstract
The purpose of this research report is to examine the levels of employee engagement in an
Irish financial institution. The importance of employee engagement in organisational change
will be considered.
This study explores some of the main theory behind employee engagement such as, Kahn’s
psychological conditions theory, Maslach etal’s theory of “job burnout” and Fairhurst &
O’Connor’s link between employee engagement and employee well-being.
The research methodology outlines the method, procedure and design of the primary research.
A brief background of the history, development and the rationale for using Gallup’s Q12
questionnaire is included here.
A visual display of the results are graphed in chapter four including a more comprehensive
table of results for the Q12 questionnaire responses.
The findings are discussed and linked to the literature. Company x is found to have a neither
engaged or disengaged workforce. These findings are explored in more detail in chapter five.
Recommendations for company x are made in chapter six. These reccomendations are made
in the following areas:
• Leadership
• Culture
• Reward and recognition
• Employee participation
In this report, the benefits of employee engagement are two fold. Employee well-being
improves as a result and the employer benefits from having a committed, creative and
innovative workforce.
