The Influence of Attachment Styles on Employee Engagement
Journal Title: International Journal of Business and Management Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the influence of adult attachment styles on the engagement of employees in an attempt to address increasing losses in U.S. work productivity. Researchers have documented that organizations able to maintain better manager-employee relationships demonstrated positive employee engagement and improved productivity. Adult attachment theory was used as the foundation to explore how employees’ relationships with their immediate manager affect their work engagement. Two themes emerged: employees have a need for purpose and value, and employees require varying levels of dependency. These findings indicate that managers must cater to the attachment needs of the employee to positively address productivity losses.
