 Is motivated to participate in the achievement of organization’s goals.
 Experiences a sense of vicarious pleasure from the success of the

 Views an attack on the organization as an attack on him or herself.

Operationally defined, a “fully disengaged engaged employee” can be
characterized as one that:

 Fully does not identify with the organization,
 Is not motivated to protect the organization
 Is not motivated to participate in the achievement of organization’s

goals.
 Does not Experience a sense of vicarious pleasure from the success

of the enterprise and/or displeasure from its difficulties and failures.
 Is indifferent to an attack on the organization.

Accordingly, we can see that that the underlying variables comprising employee
engagement are:

 Organizational Identification
 Motivation to perform
 Commitment to the enterprise and its goals
 Protection of the Enterprise.
As we shall see below, it is important to identify the components of employee
engagement in order to facilitate its measurement.
