  1. Good article Gamage. Further, employees who are highly engaged thrive at work and are emotionally invested in the company, they are creative and provide fresh ideas to advance the company and inspire and encourage other workers, including those who are less involved (Rheem, 2017). Highly engaged workers customize the goals and objectives and continuously strive for the organization's improvement (Al Maamari and Matriano, 2020).

    1. Agreed Romeda, Job satisfaction is a term that is directly related to the employee’s engagement level (Markos, 2010). It is highly related to employee engagement as employee satisfaction within the company interprets to higher loyalty and therefore higher productivity and engagement (Soanne, 2008). Job satisfaction is defined to be whether employees are happy and fulfilling their needs desires and at their works. Employee internal satisfaction reflects on several measurements like employee motivation, dedication, and goal achievement (Mete et al., 2016).

    1. Good point Deyan, In the past, psychology has predominantly concentrated on the negative aspects of
      human behaviour such as malfunctioning, weakness and pathology (Schaufeli and
      Salanova, 2007). However, recently there has been a growing interest in positive
      psychology, which instead of focussing on human weaknesses, lays emphasis on
      human strengths, optimal functioning and well being (Seligman and
      Csikszentmihalyi, 2000). This trend towards positive psychology has led to the
      emergence of the concept of work engagement.

  4. Hi Ann-Leadership has a powerful impact on employee engagement because everything a leader does affects—helps, hurts, or hinders—company culture. Culture influences employee experience, which shapes a worker's perception of their job over the course of their tenure with a company and builds engagement.
