Employee Involvement and the Efficiency of the Organization
Employee Involvement and the Efficiency of the Organization
Keywords: employee engagement; commitment determinants; organizational effectiveness; effectiveness determinants; commitment measurement;
The concept of commitment is a very broad and ambiguous term. In the literature on the subject, there are two concepts: organizational commitment and work engagement, which are incorrectly translated together as commitment to work, because the first refers to organizational commitment, which means commitment to the organization, and the second is proper commitment to work. It should be emphasized that involvement in work is de facto organizational commitment, because proper performance of entrusted tasks significantly contributes to the sustainability of the organization’s functioning and increasing its competitiveness. Therefore, the approach represented in this study describes the involvement of employees, combining both concepts. The aim of the presented study is to analyze the relationship between employee involvement and the effectiveness of companies. For the purposes of the study, a research hypothesis was formulated: employee involvement directly contributes to the improvement of indicators that testify to the effectiveness of the company’s activity. This goal was achieved on the basis of research conducted by the Gallup Institute and other research published on the Internet. The basic method used in the study was the method of critical analysis of the literature on the subject and intuitive analyzes, resulting from the research experience.
