- Description
- The intention of this study was to measure the work engagement and EVP of employees and further to investigate the relationship between work engagement and EVP. A secondary objective was to determine to determine to what extend intrinsic rewards of EVP affects work engagement more than extrinsic rewards. The study was quantitative in nature and data was obtained by means of an electronic survey. The EVP questionnaire and UWES were used to measure EVP and work engagement respectively. Results showed that there is no practical relationship between work engagement and EVP; however, evidence suggested a statistically significant relationship between work engagement and EVP. There was no evidence to suggest that in the relationship between work engagement and EVP, intrinsic components of EVP affect work engagement more than extrinsic rewards. It was however suggested that although the extrinsic rewards component of EVP are important in attracting and retaining employees, rewards had no correlation with work engagement. Implications of the findings suggest that rewards might be important when attracting and retaining employees to a company. However, in order to develop levels of work engagement rewards play no significant role. Companies should invest in enhancing the intrinsic components of their EVP to such an extent that it contributes to levels of work engagement.
