Abstract
Work engagement has been recognized
as a much desired and
irreplaceable organizational asset
in the prevailing globalized
business environment. Yet building
an engaged work force continues
to be a challenge for organizations,
thanks to the ambiguous
conceptualization and
limited understanding characterizing
the construct. This study
examines the extant literature on
work engagement, enumerates
the specific limitations that remains
embedded in the same, and
strives to provide an independent
existence to the construct by
reconceptualising it through
qualitative research methodology.
Work engagement is defined as
application of self in the role context
and comprises passionate
task performance (PTP) and organizational
citizenship behaviour (OCB).
