Employee engagement is generally defined as a positive, fulfilling, work-related state of mind that is characterized by vigor, dedication, and absorption. You are required to prepare a 15-item questionnaire to conduct a survey to determine whether employees in a particular organization are engaged at work. The organization can be hypothetical or your current organization or any organization you are familiar with. Make sure you operationalize the construct of employee engagement before writing the items. Operationalizing means that you have to define the construct of employee engagement in such a way that it can be understood by everyone and be measured. Your survey questionnaire should do the following: Capture the essence of employee engagement in a particular organization Measure what it intends to measure Provide similar results over time when administered subsequently in the same organization or in different organizations
