Employee Engagement with William Kahn

Happiness and Humans - A podcast by Matthew Phelan - Mondays

Categories:

Following William's 1990 paper "Psychological conditions of personal engagement and disengagement at work" an entire industry was created called Employee Engagement. William discussed how he believes his version of personal engagement is violently different to employee engagement and has been co-opted by the corproate world. I ask Bill the following quesitons 1) WHat makes you happy? 2) Did you invent Employee engagement? 3) Can you talk to us about your work on psychological safety? 4) WHat advice do you have for a CEO running a business in 2021? 5) WHat advice would have for a 21 year old Bill starting out now?
