To Assess the Factors Affecting Employee Engagement in Organizations during a Crisis
Abstract
Purpose: To identify the steps taken by organizations during the time of crisis concerning Human
Capital and understand the impact each of these steps has on the employee engagement for the
employees within the organization.
Proposed Design/Methodology/Approach: Post the literature review, qualitative research is
conducted through in-depth interviews with the Managers, who were part of the decision-making, in
the organizations that went through crisis period (Sample size: 20-30) and a quantitative study is
conducted to capture the perspectives of the employees from those organizations (Sample size:
70-100).
Practical/Theoretical Implication: The study results enable organizations to stay cognizant of the
pros and cons of the decisions they make in terms of employee engagement, which helps in
successfully overcoming the crisis with minimal traction.
Originality/Value: While there are standalone papers on each topic, this paper converges them
coherently to study the overall effect from both employee's and the organization's perspectives.
