Abstract
Work engagement: double-edged sword to organization was the theme of this paper
where both the benefits received by the employee and the effects of this to
organization are both analysed. By looking into these incentives and de-motives, the
research demonstrates how work can promote self-actualization, job satisfaction, and
performance, as well as hinder, stress, exhaustion, and deterioration of psychological
and bodily well-being. The paper also discusses what these outcomes mean and
suggests that practicable solutions to these issues consist in effective management
approaches to addressing organizational culture in relation to employees’ motivation
and wellbeing at work. Having such relationships and dynamics spells out identified
will enable organizations to develop appropriate measures to optimize on
productivity while at the same time considering the impact on the employees.
