Part 3 factors Affecting Employee Behaviour
196
Yalabik et al (2013: 2803) proposed that ‘affective
commitment’ (ie an emotional attachment to, identi-
fication with and involvement with the organization)
is an antecedent of work engagement.
Engagement and motivation
The motivation element in engagement is intrinsic.
Macey et al (2009: 67) commented that: ‘When the
work itself is meaningful it is also said to have
intrinsic motivation. This means that it is not the
pay or recognition that yields positive feelings of
engagement but the work itself.’ They also pointed
out that engaged employees ‘feel that their jobs are
an important part of what they are’ (ibid: 127).
