About this book
This book untangles the theory and practice of employee engagement in nonprofit organizations. It examines the antecedents, dimensions, and consequences of employee engagement while providing evidence-based context specific models for the deployment of employee engagement to facilitate how individuals and teams contribute to and enhance organizational performance and community outcomes in nonprofit organizations.
Alongside the theoretical aspects are concrete examples of how to develop, implement and manage employee engagement in nonprofit employment relations and HR practices.
Facilitating understanding of aspects of engagement that are unique to nonprofit organizations, this work offers researchers and students a comprehensive analysis of models that explain the role of the environment, the characteristics of employees and the organization in the dimensions of employee engagement in nonprofit organizations.
