Anupama’s paper tries to test empirically the relationships among work engagement outcomes. This study proposes that engagement will result into proactive and inventive behavior such as job crafting and innovativeness. In particular, this study provides theory-based empirical evidence regarding whether engaged employees get involved in outcome behavior that have not been examined earlier. This discussion will contribute to improving the understanding of work engagement. A discussion on research limitations and future research will help in identifying the new directions and extend the research.

Anupama is currently working at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Hyderabad as an Assistant Professor.
