Research paper thumbnail of Individual, job, and organizational dimensions of work engagement: evidence from the tourism industry

Inductive thematic analysis was used to analyze the results.FindingsThe results reveal that several intangible and contextual factors (e.g. challenging and varied tasks, good relationships at work, and inspiring leaders) are more relevant to work engagement than extrinsic motivators. Engaged individuals are positive, show a personal attachment to their work roles and colleagues, and have a cognitive aspect derived from their effort.Originality/valueAn integrated model of work engagement–disengagement underpinned by factors at the individual, job, and organizational level is suggested as a synthesis of the main research results and can serve as a solid foundation for creating better future workplaces. This study contributes to the understanding of employee behaviors and organizations at work by discussing and empirically exploring the role of work engagement as a driver of differentiation among companies in the tourism industry in Galicia (Spanish region).

Additionally, it seeks to identify ways to promote work engagement in the context of this paradigm shift. Design/methodology/approach The study involved 44 undergraduate and graduate students who participated in two classroom discussions on the impact of hybrid and remote work models on well-being. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Findings The results indicate that students' expectations have significantly shifted, and HR managers need to implement hybrid and remote work models to ensure a balance between long-term employee and organisational interests. Younger generations seek flexibility in work and education to achieve a better quality of life, rather than a 100% remote system. Originality/value The growing demand for hybrid and flexible working has the potential to create a paradigm ...

Research paper thumbnail of Transformational leadership and work engagement: Exploring the mediating role of structural empowerment

Based on self-reported questionnaires from 240 employees working in the tourism sector in Galicia (northwest of Spain), the findings reveal that the linkage between transformational leadership and work engagement is partially mediated by structural empowerment. These results imply that transformational leaders foster work engagement by enabling access to information, opportunities, support and adequate resources. This empirical study is one of the first to examine the role of structural empowerment as a mediator between transformational leadership and work engagement and may serve as a reference for promoting work engagement in service organizations. A number of contributions and practical implications are discussed.

These methodologies encourage student involvement, motivation, and participation in the classroom, placing the focus on student learning rather than the lecturer capturing all the attention in lectures or theoretical sessions. First, we will explain what these methodologies consist of and how they can be implemented in the classroom. Then the teaching experience and the students' perceptions are described. The next section presents the results of the teaching experience. Finally, we include some final remarks in the conclusion section.

Programa Oficial de Doutoramento en Análise Económica e Estratexia Empresarial. 5033V01[Abstract]... more Programa Oficial de Doutoramento en Análise Económica e Estratexia Empresarial. 5033V01[Abstract] Work engagement is considered a desirable condition for organisations due to its numerous organisational benefits such as increased performance, sales, customer satisfaction and positive employee outcomes (Saks, 2006; Schaufeli & Bakker, 2010). Although work engagement has become a popular topic among academics, the impact of structural and psychological empowerment on work engagement has received less attention. The present doctoral thesis aims at elucidating the influence of structural and psychological empowerment on work engagement among employees working in service organisations in Spain and the United Kingdom (UK). More specifically, this research investigated the mediating role of structural empowerment between transformational leadership and work engagement in the Galician hospitality industry. It also examined whether psychological empowerment mediated the relationship between ...
