Abstract/Description
Engaged employees are those who are involved in, enthusiastic about, and committed to their work. Engaged employees also are those who are most likely to drive innovation, generate new ideas, have a sense of connection with their work activities, and are involved with the demands of their job (Gallup, 2013). Nowhere is the concept of employee engagement more important than with managing an organization’s projects. Ensuring a project manager is emotionally engaged with his or her work is crucial for project success to meet greater challenges in today's 21st century global marketplace. In this research study, project managers were asked to respond to an employee engagement survey to ascertain the level of agreement to the SHRM Work Engagement Survey questions. The project manager responses were compared against the Pearson Chi Square expected value to determine if the level of agreement presented a statistically significant pattern.
