Investigating the Relationships between Perceived Hierarchical Plateauing, Job Crafting, Work Centrality and Work Engagement: An Empirical Study in Emerging Economy
Journal Title: International Journal of Management Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
The relationships between perceived hierarchical plateauing, job crafting, work centrality and work engagement were investigated. The hierarchical plateauing scale, the two subscales of the expansion-oriented job crafting scale, work centrality scale and the work engagement scale were used to elicit responses from participants. Hypotheses were tested among 151 bank employees using regression analyses. Contrary to H1, results showed that perceived hierarchical plateauing was not significantly related to work engagement. As speculated, the results revealed that job crafting and work centrality were positively and significantly related to work engagement. The result implies that organizational practitioners should be cautious of the fact that employees’ perception of hierarchical plateauing does not relate to work engagement behavior, which may in turn limit the chances of organizations to be competitive. The outcome of the results also entail that allowing employees to craft their jobs and recruiting those who value work are avenues to ensuring that employees are engaged with their work, which may be a road map to success.
