BIBLIOGRAPHY
Abstract
Employee engagement is the level of commitment and involvement an employee has
towards their organization and its values. An engaged employee is aware of business
context, and works with colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit
of the organization. It is a positive attitude held by the employees towards the
organization and its values. The paper focuses on how employee engagement is an
antecedent of job involvement and what should company do to make the employees
engaged. The paper also looks at the Gallup 12 point questionnaire, twelve-question
survey that identifies strong feelings of employee engagement and the steps which shows
how to drive an engaged employee.
Introduction
Engagement at work was conceptualized by Kahn, (1990) as the Harnessing of
Organizational Members selves to their work roles, In engagement, people employ
and express themselves physically, cognitively, and emotionally during role
performances.
The second related construct to engagement in organizational behavior is the notion of
flow advanced by Csikszentmihalyi (1975, 1990). Csikzentmihalyi (1975) defines flow as
the Holistic Sensation that, people feel when they act with total involvement. Flow is
the state in which there is little distinction between the self and environment. When
individuals are in Flow State little conscious control is necessary for their actions.
Employee engagement is the thus the level of commitment and involvement an employee
has towards their organization and its values. An engaged employee is aware of business
context, and works with colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit
of the organization. The organization must work to develop and nurture engagement,
which requires a two-way relationship between employer and employee. Thus Employee
engagement is a barometer that determines the association of a person with the
organization
Engagement is most closely associated with the existing construction of job involvement
(Brown 1996) and flow (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990). Job involvement is defined as The
degree to which the job situation is central to the person and his or her identity (Lawler &
Hall, 1970). Kanungo (1982) maintained that job involvement is a Cognitive or belief
state of Psychological identification. Job involvement is thought to depend on both need
saliency and the potential of a job to satisfy these needs. Thus job involvement results
form a cognitive judgment about the needs satisfying abilities of the job. Jobs in this view
are tied to ones self image. Engagement differs from job in as it is concerned more with
how the individual employees his/her self during the performance of his / her job.
Furthermore engagement entails the active use of emotions. Finally engagement may be
thought of as an antecedent to job involvement in that individuals who experience deep
engagement in their roles should come to identify with their jobs.
When Kahn talked about employee engagement he has given important to all three
aspects physically, cognitively and emotionally. Where as in job satisfaction importance
has been given more to cognitive side.
HR practitioners believe that the engagement challenge has a lot to do with how
Employee feels about the about work experience and how he or she is treated in the
organization. It has a lot to do with emotions which are fundamentally related to drive
bottom line success in a company. There will always be people who never give their best
efforts no matter how hard HR and line managers try to engage them. But for the most
part employees want to commit to companies because doing so satisfies a powerful and a
basic need in connect with and contribute to something significant.
Three basic aspects of employee engagement according to the global studies are:
The employees and their own unique psychological make up and experience
The employers and their ability to create the conditions that promote employee
engagement
According to the Gallup the Consulting organization there are there are different types of
people:-
Not Engaged---Not-engaged employees tend to concentrate on tasks rather than the goals
and outcomes they are expected to accomplish. They want to be told what to do just so
they can do it and say they have finished. They focus on accomplishing tasks vs.
achieving an outcome. Employees who are not-engaged tend to feel their contributions
are being overlooked, and their potential is not being tapped. They often feel this way
because they don't have productive relationships with their managers or with their
coworkers.
Actively Disengaged--The "actively disengaged" employees are the "cave dwellers."
They're "Consistently against Virtually Everything." They're not just unhappy at work;
they're busy acting out their unhappiness .They sow seeds of negativity at every
opportunity. Every day, actively disengaged workers undermine what their engaged
coworkers accomplish. As workers increasingly rely on each other to generate products
and services, the problems and tensions that are fostered by actively disengaged workers
can cause great damage to an organization's functioning.
10
Importance of Engagement
Engagement is important for managers to cultivate given that disengagement or
alienation is central to the problem of workers lack of commitment and motivation
(Aktouf). Meaningless work is often associated with apathy and detachment from ones
works (Thomas and Velthouse). In such conditions, individuals are thought to be
estranged from their selves (Seeman, 1972) .Other Research using a different resource of
engagement (involvement and enthusiasm) has linked it to such variables as employee
turnover, customer satisfaction loyalty, safety and to a lesser degree, productivity and
profitability criteria (Harter, Schmidt & Hayes, 2002).
An organizations capacity to manage employee engagement is closely related to its
ability to achieve high performance levels and superior business results. Some of the
advantages of Engaged employees are
Engaged employees will stay with the company, be an advocate of the company
and its products and services, and contribute to bottom line business success.
They form an emotional connection with the company. This impacts their attitude
towards the companys clients, and thereby improves customer satisfaction and
service levels

everyday. While one in five employees strongly agree with this statement. Those work
units scoring higher on this perception have substantially higher performance.
Thus employee engagement is critical to any organization that seeks to retain valued
employees. The Watson Wyatt consulting companies has been proved that there is an
intrinsic link between employee engagement, customer loyalty, and profitability. As
organizations globalize and become more dependent on technology in a virtual working
environment, there is a greater need to connect and engage with employees to provide
them with an organizational identity.
Factors Leading to Employee EngagementStudies have shown that there are some critical factors which lead to Employee
engagement. Some of them identified are
Career development influences engagement for employees and retaining the most
talented employees and providing opportunities for personal development.
Feeling Valued & Involved
Career Development- Opportunities for personal development
12
Employees need to feel that the core values for which their companies stand are
unambiguous and clear.
13
Empowerment
Employees want to be involved in decisions that affect their work. The leaders of high
engagement workplaces create a trustful and challenging environment, in which
employees are encouraged to dissent from the prevailing orthodoxy and to input and
innovate to move the organization forward.
Image
How much employees are prepared to endorse the products and services which their
company provides its customers depends largely on their perceptions of the quality of
those goods and services. High levels of employee engagement are inextricably linked
with high levels of customer engagement.
Other factors
14
Performance appraisal
Fair evaluation of an employees performance is an important criterion for determining
the level of employee engagement. The company which follows an appropriate
performance appraisal technique (which is transparent and not biased) will have high
levels of employee engagement.
Research indicates that the engagement levels are low if the employee does not feel
secure while working. Therefore every organization should adopt appropriate methods
and systems for the health and safety of their employees.
Job Satisfaction
Communication
15
The company should follow the open door policy. There should be both upward and
downward communication with the use of appropriate communication channels in the
organization. If the employee is given a say in the decision making and has the right to be
heard by his boss than the engagement levels are likely to be high.
Family Friendliness
A persons family life influences his wok life. When an employee realizes that the
organization is considering his familys benefits also, he will have an emotional
attachment with the organization which leads to engagement
Co-operation
If the entire organization works together by helping each other i.e. all the employees as
well as the supervisors co-ordinate well than the employees will be engaged.
Gallup research consistently confirms that engaged work places compared with least
engaged are much more likely to have lower employee turnover, higher than average
customer loyalty, above average productivity and earnings. These are all good things that
prove that engaging and involving employees make good business sense and building
shareholder value. Negative workplace relationships may be a big part of why so many
employees are not engaged with their jobs.
16
Step I: Listen
The employer must listen to his employees and remember that this is a continuous
process. The information employees supply will provide direction. This is the only way
to identify their specific concerns. When leaders listen, employees respond by becoming
more engaged. This results in increased productivity and employee retention. Engaged
employees are much more likely to be satisfied in their positions, remain with the
company, be promoted, and strive for higher levels of performance.
17
loyalty are all accessed. After Hundreds of focus group and thousands of interviews with
employees in a variety of industries, Gallup came up with Q. 12, a twelve-question
survey that identifies strong feelings of employee engagement. They have identified 12
questions that most effectively measure the links (the Gallup Q12).
1. Do you know what is expected of you at work?
2. Do you have the materials and equipment you need to do your work right?
3. At work, do you have the opportunity to do what you do best every day?
4. In the last seven days, have you received recognition or praise for doing good
work?
5. Does your supervisor, or someone at work, seems to care about you as a person?
6. Is there someone at work who encourages your development?
7. At work, do your opinions seem to count?
8. Does the mission/purpose of your company make you feel your job is important?
9. Are your associates (fellow employees) committed to doing quality work?
10. Do you have a best friend at work?
11. In the last six months, has someone at work talked to you about your progress?
12. In the last year, have you had opportunities at work to learn and grow?
The interpretation of the questionnaire and one of the companies engagement level is
summarized in the table below.
Some of the discussions which come from Gallups questions are: Know what is expected of me at work- employees should know exactly what is
expected of them. If expectations are unclear, employees will inevitably face frustration,
and will be open for other opportunities where they do know what's expected of them,
and where their contributions are measured and recognized.
Materials and equipment- Employees need the right tools and equipment to support
their skills, experience and talents & perform their jobs at an optimum level.
Do what I do best every day - Are your employees cast in the right roles? Knowing the
critical demands for every role is a key to ensuring that talents fit those demands.
18
Supervisor/Someone at work cares -Managers must spend most of their time with their
most productive talent. Many managers give their greatest degree of attention to
employees who are falling behind. Talented, productive people crave time and attention
from their managers, and will leave your company if they have a weak relationship (or no
relationship) with their manager or supervisor.
Co-workers committed to quality -Many companies arbitrarily put teams together
without considering that employees only psychologically commit to teams if they
perceive their team members will support their high level of commitment and
performance. Talented employees set high standards and depend upon those around them
to support their growth
towards excellence.
Opportunities to learn and grow- The Company should create an environment that
encourages employees to drive towards innovation or to create better systems for more
productive results. Great managers always ask what skills and knowledge need to
accompany talent to result in the greatest outcome for each employee.
As discussed the Gallup study Q12 is based on positive Psychology and emotions.
Having a best friend at work or receiving recognition every week makes you feel cared
for and proud respectively. If you want to keep recreating those positive emotions, then
you keep coming back to work.
So the Q. 12 measures engagement, and engagement is a positive emotional connection
to the work. Thus the mechanism of the broaden- and build theories and the action
tendencies of positive emotions help in understanding why the Q. 12 has been so
powerful for Gallup in terms of predicting outcomes. Borden and Build theory is
about evolutionary significance of positive emotions. Positive emotions are better
observed over the long haul. Their effects accumulate and compound overtime and the
adaptive benefits are evident from later, when people face new challenges. The Gallup
research
has thus made a contribution in adding an additional P to the 4 Ps of marketing i.e.
product, price, and promotion place and now people to the mix. In the combination of
engaged employees, Gallup brings engaged customers to form the concept of human
sigma. These include customer engagement, loyalty and emotional attachment. Customer
19
Identify the problem areas to see which are the exact areas, which lead to disengaged
employees
Step IV: Taking action to improve employee engagement by acting upon the
problem areas
Nothing is more discouraging to employees than to be asked for their feedback and see
no movement toward resolution of their issues. Even the smallest actions taken to address
concerns will let the staff know how their input is valued. Feeling valued will boost
morale, motivate and encourage future input. Taking action starts with listening to
employee feedback and a definitive action plan will need to be put in place finally.

The Textile industry in India traditionally, after agriculture,is the only industry that has
generated huge employment for both skilled and unskilled labor in textiles. The textile
industry continues to be the second largest employment generating sector in India. It offers
direct employment to over 35 million in the country.[1] The share of textiles in total exports
was 11.04% during AprilJuly 2010, as per the Ministry of Textiles. During 2009-2010, Indian
textiles industry was pegged at US$55 billion, 64% of which services domestic demand.[1] In
2010, there were 2,500 textile weaving factories and 4,135 textile finishing factories in all of
India.
History[edit]
The archaeological surveys and studies have found that the people of Harrapan
Civilization[3] knew weaving and the spinning of cotton four thousand years ago. Reference to
weaving and spinning materials is found in the Vedic Literature also.
There was textile trade in India during the early centuries.A block printed and resist-dyed
fabrics, whose origin is from Gujarat is found in tombs of Fostat, Egypt.[3] This proves that
Indian export of cotton textiles to the Egypt or the Nile Civilization in medieval times were to
a large extent.Large quantity of north Indian silk were traded through the silk route in
China[4] to the western countries. The Indian silk were often exchanged with the western
countries for their spices in the barter system. During the late 17th and 18th century there
were large export of the Indian cotton to the western countries to meet the need of the
European industries during industrial revolution. Consequently there was development of
nationalist movement like the famous Swadeshi movement which was headed by the
Aurobindo Ghosh.
There was also export of Indian silk, Muslin cloth of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa to other
countries by the East Indian company. Bhilwara is known as textile city.
Production in decentralised sector[edit]
India is the second largest producer of fibre in the world and the major fibre produced
is cotton. Other fibres produced in India include silk, jute, wool, and man-made fibers. 60% of
the
Indian
textile
Industry
is
cotton
based.
The strong domestic demand and the revival of the Economic markets by 2009 has led to
huge growth of the Indian textile industry. In December 2010, the domestic cotton price was
up by 50% as compared to the December 2009 prices. The causes behind high cotton price
are due to the floods in Pakistan and China.India projected a high production of textile (325
23
lakh bales for 2010 -11).[5] There has been increase in India's share of global textile trading to
seven percent in five years.[5] The rising prices are the major concern of the domestic
producers of the country.
Man Made Fibers: These includes manufacturing of clothes using fiber or filament
synthetic yarns. It is produced in the large power loom factories. They account for the
largest sector of the textile production in India.This sector has a share of 62% of the
India's total production and provides employment to about 4.8 million people.[6]
The Cotton Sector: It is the second most developed sector in the Indian Textile
industries. It provides employment to huge amount of people but its productions and
employment is seasonal depending upon the seasonal nature of the production.
The Handloom Sector: It is well developed and is mainly dependent on the SHGs for
their funds. Its market share is 13%.[6] of the total cloth produced in India.
The Woolen Sector: India is the 7th largest producer.[6] of the wool in the world. India
also produces 1.8% of the world's total wool.
The Jute Sector: The jute or the golden fiber in India is mainly produced in the Eastern
states of India like Assam and West Bengal. India is the largest producer of jute in the
world.
The Sericulture and Silk Sector: India is the 2nd largest producer of silk in the world.
India produces 18% of the world's total silk. Mulberry, Eri, Tasar, and Muga are the main
types of silk produced in the country. It is a labor-intensive sector.
The Indian Textile industries is mainly dominated by some government, semi government
and
private
institutions.

Organized sector[edit]
According to Kearneys Retail Apparel Index India ranked as the fourth most promising
market for apparel retailers in 2009.[7]
There is large scope of improvement in the textile industry of India as there is a huge
increase in personal disposable income among the Indians after the 1991 liberalisation.
There is also a large growth of the organised sector in the Indian textile industries.The
foreign brands along with the collaboration of the Indian companies established business in
India. Some of these are Puma, Armani, Benetton, Esprit, Levi Strauss, Hugo Boss, Liz
Claiborne, Crocs etc.
The major Indian Industries include Bombay Dyeing, Fabindia, Grasim Industries, JCT
Limited, Lakshmi Machine Works, Lakshmi Mills and Mysore Silk Factory.

growth.
The areas which are being focused in terms of Employee Engagement are:

Employee Engagement
A positive attitude held by the employee towards the organization and its values. An
engaged employee works with colleagues to improve performance within the job for the
benefit of the organization. The organization must work to develop and nurture
engagement, which requires a two-way relationship between employer and employee.
Most organizations today realize that a satisfied employee is not necessarily the best
employee in terms of loyalty and productivity. It is only an ENGAGED EMPLOYEE
who is intellectually and emotionally bound with the organization who feels passionate
about its goals and is committed towards its values thus he goes the extra mile beyond the
basic job. Employee engagement is a powerful retention strategy. An engaged employee
gives his company his 100 percent. When employees are effectively and positively
engaged with their organization, they form an emotional connection with the company.
34
Employee engagement is a barometer that determines the association of a person with the
organization. It is about creating the passion among associates to do things beyond what
is expected from him.
To keep up the morale of people and drive them towards excellent performance
through recognition letters, profit sharing schemes, long performance awards etc.
Communication forums like the in-house magazine, and regular surveys and
conferences
The result of these practices can be evident through the regular feedback from our
employees collected through surveys,

employees for the following:
Promotion letter informing the family about the promotion of the employee
Connect invite letters to the family members to visit reid &taylor any day of their
choice.
Fun @ Work
Fun @ Work activities are considered to be backbone in a team bounding. Every team
has a fun spoc whose responsibilities includes various games and other team building
activities with the help of which internal team bounding can be improved. At the same
time it can also be considered to provide ample of time as to relieve the stress that a
normal BPO employee has to face.
Fun at Work" might sound like an oxymoron, but it is a reality in the corporate world
today. The most successful of organizations add a healthy dose of play
into their routines because research shows that when people have fun at
work, they enjoy their jobs and this translates them into being more
creative, more productive and more committed to doing their job well.
42
Its also no secret that having fun at work can help boost morale, reduce stress, improve
staff retention, mean less sick days and increase team building and spirit.
Having true fun at work is very similar to the kind of fun one has when playing a sport or
performing. For example, the last time I played a sport in front of an
audience, I channeled all my attention and energy to the point where I was
solely focused on my performance. I remember how much fun it was
getting congratulations from my teammates and the audience! And even
though I was completely exhausted following my performance, I
remember how great I felt afterwards.
I think this is the type of fun that best fits the workplace - playful and competitive games
that generate congratulations and cheers from coworkers. Additionally,
sporting or performance types of fun fit well within the workplace where
employers generally want us to have energy, drive, talent, determination,
competitive spirit, and be goal orientated.
This kind of fun is successfully being implemented at reid &taylor. Weve already had a
Football Championship which involved a lot of employees. Emotions were
shared and the teams really had intensive fun. Now reid &taylor has its
own football team, who represents the company at the biggest football
tournament dedicated to all companies.

CONCLUSION
Conclusion
As Per the above observations and analysis it seems that most of the Employees of GCF
Australia are Engaged and like there work and Organization except few Employees who
are Not Engaged and few who are Nearly engaged and can be changed to an Engaged
Employee by their supervisors by proper planning.
Employee Engagement is the buzz word term for employee communication. It is a
positive attitude held by the employees towards the organization and its values. It is
rapidly gaining popularity, use and importance in the workplace and impacts
Organizations in many ways.
Employee engagement emphasizes the importance of employee communication on the
success of a business. An organization should thus recognize employees, more than any
other variable, as powerful contributors to a company's competitive position. Therefore
employee engagement should be a continuous process of learning, improvement,
measurement and action.
We would hence conclude that raising and maintaining employee engagement lies in the
hands of an organization and requires a perfect blend of time, effort, commitment and
investment to craft a successful endeavor.
