Five Dimensions of Employee Engagement
The Sloan Management Review published a piece recently about the connection between employee engagement and profitability growth. V. Kumar and Anita Pansari conducted research on employee engagement in a wide range of companies. They first set out to define engagement, given that many people look at the concept differently. They settled on a definition that encompassed five dimensions of engagement:
We wanted to use our discussions with managers and a review of the literature to understand how employee attitudes and behaviors affected company performance. This led us to define employee engagement as âa multidimensional construct that comprises all of the different facets of the attitudes and behaviors of employees towards the organization.â7 The five dimensions of employee engagement are: employee satisfaction, employee identification, employee commitment, employee loyalty and employee performance.
After controlling for other relevant factors including GDP level, marketing costs, the nature of the business and the type of goods, we found that the highest level of growth in profits (10% to 15%) occurred in the group of companies whose employees were highly engaged; the lowest level of growth in profits (0% to 1%) occurred in the group of companies whose employees were disengaged.
We wanted to use our discussions with managers and a review of the literature to understand how employee attitudes and behaviors affected company performance.

The scholars used their "employee engagement scorecard" to measure engagement in 75 companies in 7 different countries. One year later, they examined profitability growth at 30 of those firms in depth. Here's their conclusion:
