The epistemology orientation taken is mainly a constructive interpretivism focused on the thinking and feeling that underpins people’s behaviour and the subjective ways in which they experience their world.

The questionnaire is broken down into three sections. The first part is to understand the current employee engagement level. The second part is defined to measure the six key management functions that are impacting the employee engagement and the third part is created to understand directly how the employee voice is impacting Spanish employees’ engagement during the COVID-19 period.
