Leadership, visioning and employee engagement: a systemic perspective
by van Graan, Daniël, MS
Abstract (Summary)
As a business leader within the South African ICT industry the researcher identified a need to explore the understanding of employee engagement, in an attempt to improve and sustain organisational performance. The researcher has through his direct involvement in the South African ICT sector, and his indirect involvement in the international ICT sector, been exposed to challenges that cannot always be resolved by means of linear reasoning. These challenges are the result of complexity created by business and information technology systems, which subsequently place challenging burdens on organisations and their people. This research study intended to inform the social construct of employee engagement as a possible contributor towards improved organisational performance. Leadership and visioning, as supporting factors, have been evaluated in order to create an understanding of their impact on employee engagement practices. Leadership and visioning have also been researched from a global perspective to ensure a systemic understanding of these constructs and how these relate to context. The study was done from a qualitative perspective and attempts to explore the understanding of certain social aspects and behavioural dimensions of people within a complex business system. This dissertation has through the incorporation of sources from the literature, and information gathered from the field research, created an informed view on engaged organisations. The collaboration of employees and employers, through efficient teams, has proven to form the foundation of engaged organisations. The study concludes with a design to assist employers with the integration of employee engagement practices into an organisation. Firstly, it defines the importance of having a customer centric organisation which results from an engaged workforce. Secondly it defines how the resultant impact of customer satisfaction may result in improved employee engagement levels within an organisation.
