Abstract
The fundamental premise of our research is that dealing with the resilient nature of low employee engagement requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the problem systematically. We developed and tested such a model in a series of field studies. In Chapters 3–8, we discussed the various subsets of our model. In this chapter, we return to our model and discuss the results holistically. We summarize the implications for practice that emerge from this research. We also recognize the limitations of our research and provide a set of propositions that are intended to provide guidance for future research.
