Abstract
In the prevailing competitive environment,
engaged employees are
viewed as a strategic asset by both
academicians and practicing managers
alike. Although academicians
have isolated various organizational
conditions which they
argue initiate engagement, there
exists a lack of understanding on
the observed variations in engagement
levels between employees exposed
to similar organizational
conditions. Through theoretical
arguments as well as empirical
support, this study argues that differences
between self-efficacy levels
in employees are primarily responsible
for differences in displayed
engage-ment. Based on the
findings the study argues and defines
engage-ment as expressed
empowerment pertaining to a role
thus enriching the management literature
conce-rning engagement.
Suitable managerial implications
are also discussed.
