Introduction: The success of an organization is determined by its human ‎resources. Work engagement leads to higher productivity and performance of the organization. Leaders seek to understand the impact of ‎their leadership style on work engagement. This is even more important in educational organizations but research in this area is insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between department ‎manager’s leadership styles and faculty member’s work engagement in some Iranian universities of medical ‎sciences‎. Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical correlational study. 149 people including faculty members and department managers with at least 6 months of work experience were selected through the convenience sampling method. Data collection tools included ‎a demographic questionnaire, a multi-factor leadership questionnaire, and a Schaufeli & Bakker work engagement questionnaire whose validity and reliability were examined. ‎Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16. Result: A total of 114 faculty members with 13.42 ± 9.75 and 35 department managers with 19.91 ± 8.67 work experience participated in this study. Faculty members reported high work engagement. There was a positive and significant relationship between work engagement and interactional (P = 0.010) and transformational leadership (P = 0.001). ‎There was a significant difference between manager’s and employee’s views on the interactional ‎and transformational leadership (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Managers can promote job engagement by selecting the proper leadership style, and the advantages can be leveraged to boost organizational productivity.

Employee Age

There is a growing number of older individuals seeking entry-level public service positions; jobs that may not be physically demanding, but may require emotional exertion. Older individuals are more experienced in interpersonal interactions and may be able to manage their emotions better than can their younger counterparts. However, factors of age and performance of work requiring emotional labor are lacking in public administration research. I conducted a survey with 167 public-service employees in USA, classifying them as younger adults (25 to 44 years old) and older adults (45 to 65 years old), and examined how performance of work requiring emotional labor mediates employee age by using an individual's pride in their job as a criterion variable. The findings suggested that an employee's age was positively related to pride in the job and better performance of work requiring emotional labor, and, unless they are mediated by higher level of false face acting, these two variables are significantly related. These findings lead to several suggestions for organizations: first, that public service organizations should open up work opportunities to older individuals; and second, because of lower wages in the public sector, organizations should offer generous fringe benefits.

Employee Work Engagement

<p>Work engagement is still an interesting topic to research until now, because employees are an important aspect to ensure the organization can develop or not. Therefore, the organization start paying more attention to humans as human capital to be managed seriously. Research on work engagement in the public sector has attracted quite a lot of attention. Public service employees have different characteristics from other sector employees, both from work patterns and from the work environment. Several research results show that work engagement is heavily influenced by internal factors, but external factors also have an important role in influencing employee work engagement.</p>

The Relationship

The effect of different factors on the relationship between work engagement and commitment on one hand and performance on the other is already established in the extant literature While a multiplicity of studies have identified differences in the moderating effect of experience level, gender, age on work engagement, commitment and performance is barely explored in the current literature even though with greater certainty. The objective of this research is to examine the influence of transformational leadership attributes on the employees’ work engagement. The results of the analysis earlier presented means that both hypotheses must be accepted. The study found out that while intellectual stimulation affects employees’ performance, the effect of idealised influence on employees’ work performance is significantly higher. The results affirm the long held notion that encouraging innovative thinking is an important factor that contributes to employee performance and vice versa.

Abstract. Procrastination at work has been examined relatively scarcely, partly due to the lack of a globally validated and context-specific workplace procrastination scale. This study investigates the psychometric characteristics of the Procrastination at Work Scale (PAWS) among 1,028 office employees from seven countries, namely, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Finland, Slovenia, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom. Specifically, it was aimed to test the measurement invariance of the PAWS and explore its discriminant validity by examining its relationships with work engagement and performance. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis shows that the basic factor structure and item loadings of the PAWS are invariant across countries. Furthermore, the two subdimensions of procrastination at work exhibited different patterns of relationships with work engagement and performance. Whereas soldiering was negatively related to work engagement and task performance, cyberslacking was unrelated to engagement and performance. These results indicate further validity evidence for the PAWS and the psychometric characteristics show invariance across various countries/languages. Moreover, workplace procrastination, especially soldiering, is a problematic behavior that shows negative links with work engagement and performance.

Abstract. Women have a minority position within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and, consequently, are likely to face more adversities at work. This diary study takes a look at a facilitating factor for women’s research performance within academia: daily work engagement. We examined the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between two behaviors (i.e., daily networking and time control) and daily work engagement, as well as its effect on the relationship between daily work engagement and performance measures (i.e., number of publications). Results suggest that daily networking and time control cultivate men’s work engagement, but daily work engagement is beneficial for the number of publications of women. The findings highlight the importance of work engagement in facilitating the performance of women in minority positions.
