Date: Tuesday, May 6
Time: 11:45am - 12:45pm
Place: Room 205, Building N210
Leader: Todd Farley
Reading: Well-Being in the Workplace and Its Relationship to Business
Outcomes--A Review of the Gallup Studies
+ Download Paper
About the Reading: I've recently become interested in the topic of "employee engagement," so that's what this month's reading is about. I chose this particular article for a few reasons:
- A nice break from the hardcore ATCQ fare, yet you don't have to be a psych phd to read it.
- Relevant, given the somewhat alarming results of the recent "2007 NASA Culture Survey." Did you see it? If not, click here to download it. It's a quick browse.
- This paper is largely a "survey" paper -- a paper that summarizes and puts into context the results of several related studies from a variety of sources over a period of time. We don't see a lot of survey papers in ATM, and I'd like us to discuss the value of that type of paper in our domain.
Abstract: [Note: The abstract is quite long, so here's an abstract of the abstract...] We see well-being as a broad category that encompasses a number of workplace factors. Within the overall category of well-being we discuss a hypothesized model that employee engagement (a combination of cognitive and emotional antecedent variables in the workplace) generates higher frequency of positive affect (job satisfaction, commitment, joy, fulfillment, interest, caring). Positive affect then relates to the efficient application of work, employee retention, creativity, and ultimately business outcomes.
