Introduction :-
7/30/2019 16507608 Mrp Project Mv
10/144
Industry Profile:-
The Indian cement industry with a total capacity of 151.2 million tones (including
mini plants) in March 2003 has emerged as the second largest market after China,
surpassing developed nations like the USA and Japan. Per capital consumption hasincreased from 28kg in 1980-81 to 110kg in 2003-04. In relative terms, Indias
average consumption is still low and the process of catching up with international
averages will drive future growth.
Infrastructure spending (particularly on roads, ports and airports), a spurt in
housing construction and expansion in corporate production facilities is likely to
spur growth in this area. South East Asia and the Middle East are potential export
markets. Low cost technology and extensive restructuring have made some of theIndian cement companies the most efficient across global majors. Despite some
consolidation, the industry remains somewhat fragmented and merger and
acquisition possibilities are strong. Investment norms including guidelines for
foreign direct investment (FDI) are investor-friendly. All these factors present a
strong case for investing in the Indian market.
Cement industry trends in India:
Cement industry is growing at 10-12%YoY
There are over 125 large manufacturing plants and over 300 mini cement
plants.
Over 180 million tonnes installed capacity and utilization is over 90%.
Over 10 million tonnes exports.
Growth is driven by infrastructure and housing boom.Technology changes in recent years towards modern and environmental
friendly.

Indias per capita cement consumption of 110kg per year, whereas chinas
figures of 659 kg per year. This clearly shows that demand of cement in Indias
market has a lot to catch up.
During the tenth plan, the industry, expected to grow at 10% per annum
adding a capacity of 40-52 million tonnes, according to the annual report of the
department of industrial policy and promotion (DIPP). The report reveals that this
growth trend is being driven mainly by the expansion of existing plants.
The Indian cement industry not only ranks second in the production of
cement in the world but also produces quality cement, which meets global
standards. however , the industry faces a number of constraints in terms of high
cost of power , high railway tariff; high incidence of state and central levies and
duties; lack of private and public investment in infrastructure projects; poor
quality coal and inadequate growth of related infrastructure like sea and rail
transport, ports and bulk terminals .in order to utilize excess capacity available
with the cement industry, the government has identified the following thrust areas
for increasing demand for cement:
1. Housing development program.
7/30/2019 16507608 Mrp Project Mv
13/144
2. Promotion of concrete highways and roads.
3. use of ready mix concrete in large infrastructure projects; and
4. Construction of concrete roads in rural areas.
Indian cement industry is modern and uses latest technology. Efforts are
being made to recover waste heat and success in this area has been significant.
India is also providing different varieties of cement like Ordinary Portland
Cement(OPC), Portland Pozzolana Cement(PPC), Portland Blast Furnace Slag
Cement (PBFS), Oil Well Cement, Rapid Hardening Portland Cement, Sulphate
Resisting Portland Cement, White Cement, etc.

Profit does not provide the only clue to a companys true performance.
This is because not all benefits and costs, arising from the companys
operation, find their way to the balance sheet. For instance, the positive impacts of
a companys operation on people in its vicinity, say the establishment of ahospital, do not appear in its balance sheet. Neither do the negative impact.
It is for such reason that J.K. Cement prefers to highlight its performance
from three different angles, or what is called The Triple Bottom Line
(1). Economic (balance sheet performance)
(2). Community (service to the society or community)
(3). Environmental (steps taken to nurture environment)
At J.K. Cement, we call them THE 3 Ps of Performance
Profit, People & Planet.
PROFIT:J.K. Cement way as far as profit is concerned besides making efforts to
influence turnover J.K. Cement emphasize on cutting cost to cut ahead. The reason
is simple turnover is an outcome of the price, price realization and quantity sold
all factors dependent on externalities like government policies and market cycles
which are beyond companys control. Cost, on the other hand, is something J.K.
Cement can and does exercise a lot of control over.

17/144
PEOPLE:
The importance of the HR function lies in the fact that in an extremelycompetitive industry like cement, the company's performance depends on the
creativity, motivation and initiatives of the individuals. Individuals comprise the
critical resource, instrumental in bringing about improvements in the
manufacturing process thereby reducing operating costs and maximizing gains.
To maximize gain from people side ASCENT GROUP has been created.
Ascent group is a motley collection of individual who get together to engage in the
self-development projects and motivate each other.Beside this an IN-HOUSE MAGAZINE MANTHAN is published. The
simple objective of bringing out such magazine was to create a regular forum for
people at J.K. Cement to interact and express ideas and feelings. It is believed that
such an effort would have positive payoffs far beyond its pages.
Beside this every year it organizes HANUMAN MANDIR CULTURAL
FIESTA.
PLANET:
Produce more with less has been J.K. Cements guiding philosophy over
the years. The objective is to leave the minimum footprint, or negative impact, of
its operations on the earths resources.
To protect environment J.K. Cement has taken various initiatives in the field as
water conservation by Recycling of Waste Water , Rain Water harvesting , by
reducing Co2 emission, by Green belt development and by energy conservation

Objective, CSI
The purpose of the Cement Sustainability Initiative is to:
Explore what sustainable development means for the participatingcompanies and the cement industry.
Identify and facilitate actions that companies can take as a group and
individually to accelerate the move towards sustainable development.
Provide a framework through which other cement companies can
participate, and
Provide a framework for engaging external stakeholders.
Agenda, CSI
The 10 companies involved in the CSI have chosen to develop an agenda for three
reasons:
To prepare for a sustainable future by making a more efficient use of
natural resources and energy, and engaging with local issues in emergingmarkets.
To meet the expectations of stakeholders and maintain their license to
operate in communities across the world through a greater transparency of
operations, effective engagement with society and initiating actions, which
lead to sustained positive changes, and
To individually understand and build new market opportunities through process innovations, which achieve greater resource/ energy efficiency and
long-term cost savings; product and service innovations to reduce
environmental impacts and work with other industries on novel uses of by-
product and waste materials in cement production.
7/30/2019 16507608 Mrp Project Mv
20/144
The companies have identified six key areas where they believe that the CSI
can make a significant contribution towards a more sustainable society
Climate protection.
Fuels and raw materials.
Employee health and safety.
Emissions reduction
Local impacts.
Internal business processes.
A GLOBAL HEAVY WEIGHT
India is the second largest cement producing country in the world. Cement
demand in the country grows at roughly 1.5 times the GDP growth rate. The
industry had a turnover of around US$7.8 billion in 2003-04 and according to
CRISIL is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 7per cent in the next five years.
The demand for cement is closely related to the growth in the construction sector.
Consequently, cement demand has been posting a healthy growth rate of around
8per cent since 1997-98, propelled by the increased thrust on infrastructure
development, and the higher demand from the housing sector and industrial
projects. This trend is likely to continue in the coming years.

Another factor that makes Indian cement an attractive investment destination is the
combination of a lower per capital consumption and a faster growth rate. The Indian
cement industry has registered a production of more than 100 million tones since 2001-
02.
The per capital consumption of 102kg as compared to the world average of 260kg, 450kg
in China and 631kg in Japan underlines the tremendous scope for growth in the Indian
cement industry in the long term.
7/30/2019 16507608 Mrp Project Mv
22/144
Prices and Profits to the Firm
Major players in the industry are not planning any significant capacity addition for the
next two years. Considering the gestation period of setting up a cement plant, additional
supply from new capacities, if any, will arrive only from 2005-06 onwards. Limitedcapacity additions and high demand will narrow the demand supply gap, improve price
realizations and lead to higher profitability.
Any further reduction in import duties on cement and clinkers is unlikely to affect the
industry as the cement produced is at par with the international standards and the prices
are lower than those prevailing in other international markets.
3.3.POLICY
Opening up the FDI Channel
The impact of government policies on cement demand has been steadily decreasing with
the sector being gradually deregulated. At present, 100per cent foreign direct investment
(FDI) is permitted in the cement industry. Lafarge was the first foreign company to enter
the Indian market in 1999.
Easing Environment NormsTo set up a cement plant in India, with an investment of over US$22million entrepreneurs
are required to obtain environmental clearance from the Ministry of Environment.100per
centFDI is allowed for private cement companies to set up power projects as well as coal
or lignite mines for captive consumption. State policies and norms to encourage
investment.
Both the state and export policies promote cement production. Exporters can claim duty
drawbacks on imports of coal and furnace oil up to 20 per cent of the total value of
imports. Most state governments offer fiscal incentives in the form of sales tax
exemptions in order to attract investment. In some states, this applies only to intra-state
7/30/2019 16507608 Mrp Project Mv
23/144
sales, like Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. States like Haryana offer a freeze on the
power tariff for 5years, while Gujarat offers exemption from duty on electricity.
3.4.TRENDS AND PLAYERS
Cement production in India has increased at a CAGR of 8.1per cent during the last
decade with a production level of 117.5million tones in 2003-04. The cement
industry comprises 125 large cement plants (capacity more than 0.198million
tones per annum) with an installed capacity of 148.28million tones and more than
300 mini cement plants (capacity less than 0.198million tones per annum) with an
estimated capacity of 11.10million tones per annum.
The industry worked at an estimated 80.2per cent capacity in 2003-04. Small
plants, however, work at an installed capacity of around 40per cent.
Among the different varieties of cement, India produces Ordinary Portland
Cement (OPC), Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), Portland Blast Furnace Slag
Cement (PBFS), Oil Well Cement, Rapid Hardening Portland Cement and
Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement. The share of blended cement in total cement
production has increased from 29per cent in 1997-98 to 54.5per cent in 2003-04.
Deconstructing Costs
Energy (including the landed cost of coal), freight and limestone costs are the
major cost components of the cement industry. These costs account for around
35per cent, 22per cent and 9.5per cent of the total production costs respectively.
Decline in energy cost
Indian cement companies have been able to curtail costs through the setting up of captive
power plants. There has been a decline in the average coal consumption from 0.18 tones per
tone of cement to 0.17 tones per tone due to pyro processing systems, increased usage of
imported coal (with higher calorific value) and the higher production of blended cement.
7/30/2019 16507608 Mrp Project Mv
24/144
The switch from the wet process to the dry process of cement manufacturing has also aided
in saving energy costs.

Million tonesEast 1.20West 2.36North 10.37South 9.42Total 23.35
Consolidation is expected to increase further in the cement industry. Around 23million
tones of additional capacity could be sold simply because on a stand-alone basis these
units are unviable. As part of a larger group, their operations could be cost effective. This
opens up a number of possibilities for acquisitions and mergers.
The Infrastructure Opportunity
The National Highways Development Project (NHDP) includes the 5,846km Golden
Quadrilateral (GQ) and the 7,300km North-South, East-West corridor. In addition, up-
gradation of rural roads, up-gradation to four/six lanes of about 13,000km of National
Highways and 10,000km of additional highways have been initiated.
The NHDP is expected to lay a significant part of the roads in cement concrete. Thus, if
25per cent of the roads of East-West corridors are laid by concrete, it is likely to lead to
an incremental demand of 5-6million tones of cement per annum. Likewise, the Golden
Quadrilateral is expected to add 4-5million tones of demand per annum. The total
demand from these road projects is expected to generate an incremental growth of 4-5per cent per annum over the next 2-3 years.
Among other infrastructure sectors, construction and modernization of four airports
and two seaports, railroad, power plants and water management systems are also likely
to boost the demand for cement, in particular the ready-mix cement.

Company Profile
1.1 HISTORY BEHIND J K CEMENT
The initial "J.K." stands for a father- son team, namely: Juggilal Kamlapath
Singhania
J .K. organization started in the year 1884 at Calcutta. J .K. started their
business as a Financier, Investor, Trading Supplier of cotton belts and
manufacturer of small machinery parts like V' belts, etc. They established
few small cotton textile industries also.In the year 1914 they shifted their business from Calcutta to Kanpur where
they established many big industries like J.K. cotton Mills, Straw product
Co, Lohia Mach, J.K. Pulp and Raymonds Woolen, etc.
In the year 1934 J.K. organization started one more division, as J.K.
Synthetics Ltd. They established various big plants of Nylon, Acrylic fiber,
etc. at Kota and Tyre Cord, Chemical and Pesticides at Jhalawar.In the year 1974 under the same division one more unit was started for
manufacturing of Grey Cement at Nimbahera.
Expansion of this plant took place in the year 1979, when 2nd kiln was
commissioned with a capacity of 1200 tone per day and 7-lakh tones per
year. After modification in Preheater its present capacity is 1800 TPD.
Again in the third phase, a kiln was erected in the year 1982 and production
of this kiln was 1350 tone per day.
In the year 1988 a new technology was introduced in this 3rd Kiln that
consisted of precalcination process, which raised the capacity of this plant
7/30/2019 16507608 Mrp Project Mv

to 3400 tone per day,which was earlier 1350 tone per day. Besides, J.K.
cement plant is having its own diesel generator sets, producing power to
meet the power energy requirements.
Main raw material for cement is LIMESTONE, for limestone we have our own open cast mines adjoining to the plant. Besides we have developed few
more mines at Maliakhera, Karoonda and Tilakhera for producing 10,000
tones limestone per day as needed.
J .K. Cement erected one more plant from Jan. 2001 with the capacity of
1400 tone per day at village Mangrol . In Nov.-2003 after modification in
Preheater and installation of Mechanical elevator its capacity increased to
2200 TPD.
Due to power shortage as imposed by Ajmer electricity supply board J.K.
established its own Thermal Power Plant at village Bamania, near
Shambhupura, which is generating 15 M.W. power every day, which is
consumed by J.K. Cement Plant.
J K Cement also has a plant of 400TPD-installed capacity of White Cement
at Gotan, Nagpur (Raj).
J.K. Cement has started the following projects:
Cement Project at Karnataka of over 5500 TPD and Thermal Power Plant of

Cement
Cement are bonding consisting essentially of compounds of calcium oxide with
silica alumina and iron oxide which can harden in air and water.
In general cement is a generic name for powdered materials, which initially have
plastic flow when mixed with water or other liquid but form a solid structure in
several hours with varying degree of strength & bonding properties, which
continue to improve with age.
History of Cement
Joseph Aspendence discovered cement in1824.
Materials used were Lime, Brick bed marl volcanic lava ash and water.
Burn these materials in furnace at 1200C and ground with gypsum.
1897 wet process kilns came in existence.

4.2.COMPANY STRENGTH
We enjoy a number of key competitive advantages, which have helped us maintain our
position as one of the leading cement manufactures in the Northern Indian cement
market. Our principal strengths and competitive advantages are as follows:
Leading position in attractive Northern India grey cement market:
Based on CMA data, Northern Indian cement manufacturers have consistently
operated at the highest levels of capacity utilization among Indias five regions. We
believe this reflects the strong demand in Northern India for cement products relative
to supply. Further, based on capacity expansions announced by cement manufacturers,
we except cement plants in Northern India to continue to operate at high utilization
levels and anticipate continued strong demand for our grey cement products in the
near and medium-term. We believed that we are well positioned to take advantage of
this demand, as the fourth largest grey cement manufacturer in Northern India, and thelargest grey cement manufacturer in the state of Rajasthan.
Second largest white cement producer in India:
White cement accounted for 16.6% of our total revenue and 35.2% of adjusted EBITDAfrom our cement operations in fiscal 2005, and 15.5% of revenues and 26.7%of our adjusted EBITDA from our cement operations in the six months endedSeptember 31,2005.
Unlike grey cement, the white cement industry in India is highly concerned with the two
largest players accounting for the substantial majority of Indias production capacity.
Consequently, prices of white cement have been relatively less volatile and sales of white
cement have generated more stable cash flows for us even during industry downturns in
grey cement. We also believe our position as the second largest producer of white cement
7/30/2019 16507608 Mrp Project Mv
39/144
in India, together with our nationwide delivery network, significantly enhances the
overall brand image of JK Cement.
Proximity and access to large reserves of high quality limestone:
We have access to large reserves of limestone for both our grey and white cementoperations, which we believe are sufficient to sustain our operations well intothe future. Based on independent geological surveys of different mines during1996 to 2001, we believe that our limestone reserves are sufficient to supportour current and planned capacity for approximately 40 years for both greyand white cement. (Put in risk assuming we are able to renew our existingleases upon their expiry). As one of the first cement producers in NorthernIndia, we were able to choose our limestone reserves in an area with highquality limestone resources. In addition to allowing us to produce whitecement, which requires high quality limestone, it also provides us with a costadvantage, as we are not required to purchase sweeteners to improve the
quality of limestone.
Further, our manufacturing plants are in close proximity to our limestone reserves,resulting in lower transportation costs. Finally, our mines that supply our white cement plant at Gotan also have a supply of white clay, an importantadditive necessary for white cement production.
Experience and technical know-how:
We have 30 years of experience in the Indian cement industry, which we believe providesus with the skills to maximize production efficiency, expand production capacity quickly
and reduce costs. Over the years, we believe that we have developed long-term customer
relationship and a strong reputation for quality.
Further, we have a stable and experienced middle and senior level management team,
many of whom have been working in our cement operations for more than 20 years. Our
Nimbahera manufacturing facility was chosen by World Bank and the Danish
International Development Agency as one of the four training centers in India to serve asthe Regional Training Center for Northern India.
There are only four regional training centers for the cement industry in India, and we
believe our operation of the training center provides us with access to state of art training
aids, live working models, and technical expertise developed by well known national and
international cement producers.

4.4.CORPORATE PLAN
Increase Power generation capacity to 50MW by 2006-2007. Establish one
R&D center for cement & its applications such as concrete, tiles etc. To achieve
specific power consumption level of 85units per tone of cement. O.k. Cement
has excellent track record of HR Planning and Development. The initiative
taken for setting up Regional Training Center (RTC) as Nimbahera (in the
campus of J.K. Cement works) is an indication of Managements commitment
towards HRD. The Center at Nimbahera is one of the four Rats in India andcaters the manpower development needs, not only to J.K. Cement Works, but
also supports cement industry in Western M.P., Rajasthan, Haryana, Jammu &
Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab (i.e. Northern Region).
1. First Five-Year Plan (1951-56): -
In the beginning of the first five-year plan, there were 22 factories with a
production was 2.69million tones only. The target set for the first five-year plan
was 5.02million tones. Therefore, capacity enhancement was the main objective
of this plan.
2. Second Five-Year Plan (1956-61): -
Due to the rising demand a the end of the first plan period government imposed
a sort of control of issuing an order under section 18G of the industries
7/30/2019 16507608 Mrp Project Mv
43/144
(Development & Regulations) Act, 1951, making it necessary for all cement
producers to sell their total production to State Trading Corporation of India for
distribution to consumers at uniform price fixed by the Government from time
to time on F.O.R. destination basis.3. Third Five-Year Plan (1961-66): -
This plan marked for industrial growth led the government to anticipate a heavy
shortage of cement and to meet this challenges. Expansion programs were
undertaken:
To make survey for the prospecting and providing cement grade limestone
in the country.
To set up unit in public sectors to achieve plan targets.
To support all the ancillary and subsidiary activities connected with cement
and make efforts for its growth and development.
4. Policy of 1980:
National Highway Project, new railway lines, bridges, irrigation canals and
dams reshaped the country and projected a new face of the industrialists
scenario. The government of India had to decide start a partial decontrol of
cement industry and subsequently to fuller decontrol of it. The new policy
granted cement manufactures a profit of about 12% in their investments so that
rapid increase in cement production can take place to bridge the gap of demand
and production capacity.
Greenfield Grey Cement at Karnataka in Jaykaycem Ltd A Greenfield Grey Cement project is being set up in Jaykaycem Ltd. (wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company) at Mudhol in the State of Karnataka with a
capacity of 3.5 million tones at an estimated project cost of Rs.1050 crores

J.K. Wall Putty:
White cement based putty for luxurious and silky interior/ exterior finish of our
dream home. J.K. Wall Putty is White Cement based putty for cement plastered
walls and ceilings. J.K. Wall Putty is used to fill the uneven surfaces of cement plastered walls and concrete walls. Application of J.K. Wall Putty provides
smooth and strong finish to the walls for further application of all kinds of
paints. The smooth finish gives better look to interiors and exteriors.
Surface Preparation:
The surface should be cleaned to make it free from dirt, dust, grease, oil and
paint. All foreign impurities should be removed with a wire-brush. Wall
surfaces should be cured so that the surface is saturated with water yet in touch
dry condition.
Treatment of New Surface:
The new surface requires only soft treatment such as removal of dust, dirt and
foreign matter. In case of cracks, voids and damages; it should be patched up
prior to application of J.K. Wall Putty with grey/white cement.
Treatment of Old Surface:
All loose material and/or organic growth must be removed with putty blade or
brush. In case of old painted surface scrub the surface with course emery
stone/paper.
Preparation of J.K. Wall Putty Paste:
J.K. Wall Putty is a fine powder. Mix slowly J.K. Wall Putty with approx.40%
water by volume to prepare paste of desired consistency. Mix vigorously for 5-10 minutes lump free, uniform and smooth putty paste. Product should be
mixed in required quantities to be used within 2-3 hrs. of preparation.

Application:
Apply uniformly the first coat of J.K. Wall Putty with blade/ trowel on the wall
from bottom to top. Apply second coat after the first coat has dried completely.
Limit the total thickness of 2 coats to 1.5mm. Allow completely drying andthen use fine emery paper to remove the application mark if any. Any kind of
paint can be applied on this surface. Use water for curing before applying paint.
Precaution:
Although J.K. Wall Putty does not contain any toxic material, use rubber gloves
while mixing, as prolonged exposure with water may soften the skin resulting
in fine cuts/legions due to cement particles. Precaution should be taken to avoiddust inhalation while handling the powder putty.
Storage:
Store J.K. Wall Putty in a dry place and open the pack just before use. Keep out
of reach of children.

Theoretical frame work :-
Employee Engagement:-
For several years now, 'employee engagement' has been a hot topic in corporate circles.
It's a buzz phrase that has captured the attention of workplace observers and HR managers, as well as the executive suite. And it's a topic that employers and employees
alike think they understand, yet can't articulate very easily. employee engagement as "a
heightened emotional connection that an employee feels for his or her organization, that
influences him or her to exert greater discretionary effort to his or her work".
At least four of the studies agreed on these eight key drivers.
1. Trust and integrity how well managers communicate and 'walk the talk'.
2. Nature of the job Is it mentally stimulating day-to-day?
3. Line of sight between employee performance and company performance
4. Does the employee understand how their work contributes to the
company's performance?
5. Career Growth opportunities
6. Are there future opportunities for growth?
7. Pride about the company
8. How much self-esteem does the employee feel by being associated with
their company?9. Coworkers/team members
10. significantly influence one's level of engagement
11. Employee development
12. Is the company making an effort to develop the employee's skills?
13. Relationship with one's manager
14. Does the employee value his or her relationship with his or her manager?
We define employee Engagement as a psychological state in which in which employees
feel a vested interest in the company s success and are both willing and motivated to
perform to levels that exceed the stated job requirements.
Its reflects how employees feel about the overall work experience

Employee Engagement foster & drives discretionery behaviour, eliciting employees ,
highest productivity, their best ideas & their genuine commitment to the success of the
organization.
Employee engagement , also called Work engagement , is a concept that is generally
viewed as managing discretionary effort, that is, when employees have choices, they will
act in a way that furthers their organization 's interests. An engaged employee is a person
who is fully involved in, and enthusiastic about, his or her work. Employee Engagement
is now measured by items which have been linked to key business outcomes.
In a study of professional service firms, the Hay Group found that offices with engaged
employees were up to 43% more productive
The most striking finding is the almost 52% gaps in operating incomes between
companies with highly engaged employees and companies whose employees have low-engagement scores. High-engagement companies improved 19.2% while low-
engagement companies declined 32.7% in operating income during the study period. For
example, New Century Financial Corporation , a U.S. specialty mortgage banking
company, found that account executives in the wholesale division who were actively
disengaged produced 28% less revenue than their colleagues who were engaged.
Furthermore, those not engaged generated 23% less revenue than their engaged
counterparts. Engaged employees also outperformed the not engaged and actively
disengaged employees in other divisions. It comes as no surprise, then, that engaged
employees have been statistically linked with innovation events and better problem
solving.
Arnold is more likely to define engagement as a beneficial two-way relationship where
employees and employers 'go the extra mile' for one another. Companies that get it right
reap the rewards and so do their employees, he said.
The benefits of having happy staff are well-documented. But the challenge for many
organisations is showing that engagement brings a tangible return on investment - a
process many companies find elusive.
"Engagement means different things to different people," Arnold said. "There was a risk
that it would become just another buzzword, so settling on a definition gave us a lot of
debate."

UNDERSTANDING EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR
Introduction
3.1 The objective of this review the extent to which employee engagement varies between the public and private sectors. This was examined on two levels:
Are there any fundamental differences in how employee engagement operates between the public and private sectors that would impact on interpretativemodels? In particular, do the drivers of employee engagement vary between thetwo sectors? And
What evidence, if any, is there on the effectiveness of employee engagement between the public and private sectors? Are there any marked differences betweenthe sectors in terms of how engaged staff are?
Variations in employee engagement process
3.2 From our analysis of the models presented the differences between the public and private sectors have no impact whatsoever on how employee engagement works. Thisreflects the fact that the positive factors impacting on employee engagement apply withequal weight to the public and private sectors. In particular this includes:
The importance of providing high quality management, especially at supervisoryand immediate line management level
The importance of having a strong organisational vision and clarity in goals thatare clearly articulated and communicated to staff at all levels
The importance of engaging in effective two-way communication between theorganisation and its staff
3.3 No interpretative model of the employee engagement process assessed as part of theliterature review has drawn any sectoral distinction: they are generic across allorganisational types in the public and private sectors. This is a key finding of theliterature review.
3.4 However, the employee engagement outcomes do vary according to a range of factors reflecting organisational and employee characteristics. The aspiration to find a'one size fits all' model does not apply, either to all individual employees or to allorganisations. These variations are discussed below.
Variations in employee engagement outcomes
3.5 There is a surprisingly limited amount of research commenting on variances inemployee engagement between the public and private sectors. This may relate to the factthat there is more in common between the sectors than there is variation and the
principles of engagement tend to be generic across both sectors. The literature reviewedtends to highlight the relatively strong performance of the public sector in terms of job

specific parameters ( i.e. public sector workers are more likely to receive compensationfor working extra hours, and find their work more worthwhile and personallymeaningful) but its weaker performance in the critical employee engagement drivers suchas strategic vision and management. For example, CIPD (2006c) in a national survey of 2,000 UK employees found the following:
Hours worked - there are no differences between the public and private sectors interms of hours worked. However, public sector workers are more likely to receivesome compensation for working extra hours than those in the private sector;
Work-life balance - one would have expected that public sector workers would be receiving more help from their employer to achieve a good work-life balance, but actually there is no difference;
Employer negatives - public sector employees are more negative about their employers than their private sector counterparts, reporting that:
o They experience more bullying and harassment than those in the privatesector
o They are less satisfied with the opportunities they have to use their abilitieso They are more stressed and under more pressureo They are more critical of their organisationo They are less likely to feel their senior managers have a clear vision for
the organisationo They have less trust and confidence in their senior managers; ando They are also less likely to believe organisational communication.
Job positives - however, the public sector ethos is reflected in the fact that more public sector workers find their work worthwhile and personally meaningful. Thisis an important finding, that Penna (2007) presents a model whereby 'meaning at
work' is at the apex of the model, and one of the most important factors in drivingengagement. Individual/employee performance outcomes - public sector workers rate their
own performance lower than private sector employees and are more likely to havetaken more sick leave in the last year.
3.6 Ipsos MORI (2006) has highlighted the need for public sector organisations toimprove the way in which they manage change and develop leadership capability. It isdiscussed later how engagement can help organisations manage change (see theCambridgeshire County Council case study which highlights how engagement was
brought in to assist a large and difficult change in the Council). Drawing upon research
data from over 200 of the UK's leading organisations, an analysis by sector shows that inmany areas there is typically little difference in employee attitudes. However, in coreaspects of working life (ref. 'job positives' above), public sector staff tend to be happier with:
Job security Being paid fairly and their pay reflecting level of performance Training and development opportunities
7/30/2019 16507608 Mrp Project Mv
56/144
The feedback they receive from line managers Working hours.
3.7 As a result of the research, Ipsos MORI (2006) conclude that public sector employeesare more likely to feel that the work they do is interesting and, in general, perceive a
greater feeling of morale where they work.
3.8 In contrast, the public sector usually trails the private sector in two key areas: changemanagement and leadership capability (this is despite the fact that public sector employees report a greater level of contact with senior management). The Ipsos MORI(2006) research found that whilst around three-quarters of employees in both sectorsunderstand the need for change, there is a large disparity in terms of those who support the need for change - with 75 per cent of employees in the private sector supporting theneed for change, compared to 65 per cent in the public sector. Moreover, public sector employees are significantly more likely to feel that some of the changes beingimplemented are unnecessary: they believe that " there is too much change for change's
sake ". Thus it is imperative that managers fully engage staff in understanding therationale for change, rather than just communicating the change to them, and supportemployees through the change process.
3.9 In terms of the more practical aspects of change management, again public sector employees are more critical. A quarter of private sector employees, compared to just 15
per cent of public sector employees, believe that change is well managed in their organisation: see Figure 3.1.
Figure 3.1 Perceptions of Change Management by Sector

57/144
3.10 The Ipsos MORI (2006) research highlights other areas in which public sector staff are usually more critical than their private sector counterparts:
Receiving recognition for good performance and providing opportunities for employees to let the organisation know how they feel about things that affect
them in their work Having adequate /sufficient facilities or resources to do their work effectively The belief that their organisation puts customers first Confidence that they are working for a successful organisation.
3.11 As a consequence, the public sector tends to trail the private sector in core areas thatcan lead to enhanced employee engagement, such as clarity of direction, effectivecommunication and management. The conclusion of this research is that the public sector needs to concentrate more on how it manages change and develops leadership capability,to contribute to delivering the Public Sector Reform Agenda effectively.
3.12 These findings in the UK are supported by research in Canada conducted by theAuditor General of British Columbia (Office of the Auditor General of British Columbia,April 2002). The British Columbia public service received an engagement rating of 59
per cent compared to 79 per cent for the top 50 companies to work for in Canada (HewittAssociates: The 50 Best Companies to Work for in Canada, as cited in Office of theAuditor General of British Columbia 2002). In comparison to the leading private sector companies, British Columbia's public service employees are relatively happy with their work, are just as committed to staying with their employer, but due to a climate of distrust, a lack of confidence in their managers, and a feeling that the public hold anegative view of them as workers, they are not as proud of where they work. Only 43 per cent would highly recommend their department to a friend seeking employment,
compared to 86 per cent in the comparison group. Again the public sector comparesfavourably in job content, but is weak in terms of organisational identity and advocacyamongst staff.
Summary and key findings
No interpretative model of the employee engagement process that has beenreviewed has drawn any sectoral distinction: they are generic across the publicand private sectors.
However, the employee engagement outcomes do vary according to a range of factors reflecting organisational and employee characteristics. The aspiration to
find a 'one size fits all' model does not apply. In general, public sector employees are more satisfied with their jobcharacteristics, but are significantly less satisfied with key drivers of employeeengagement compared to the private sector.
These weaknesses include lack of orientation to organisational objectives and lack of advocacy.
However, variations in employee engagement within sectors are far moresignificant and important than any reported variations between the public and

private sectors. The challenge is for employers to understand the importance of employee engagement within their own organisation and to address it effectively.
INTERPRETATIVE MODELS OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
Introduction
4.1 This chapter looks at the models of engagement as found throughout the literature. Anemployer's point of view, engagement is often about employees 'going the extra mile' or exerting 'discretionary effort'. It was also discussed that many of the factors that driveengagement are under the control of the organisation. However, employees will placedifferent emphasis on the extent to which they value each of these factors in exchange for their discretionary effort. This chapter therefore examines the models of engagement inthe literature to determine what the key drivers of engagement are, and the extent towhich employees value these, and what employees find connects them to theorganisation, motivates them to perform above and beyond expectations and compels
them to actively promote the interests and objectives of the organisation.
4.2 Although the organisation has primary responsibility for leading engagement, thereare also secondary employee and job specific factors which can affect levels of engagement. These are also discussed in this chapter to provide a more comprehensive
picture of the factors that determine engagement. The findings are presented under thefollowing headings:
Modelling Engagement - a series of the most relevant interpretative engagementmodels are presented.
Role of Engagement in Organisational Outcomes - this section illustrates the
mechanisms through which engagement can impact on organisational outcomes. Organisational Variations - an analysis of the extent to which engagement
varies between organisations. Employee Variations - an analysis of the extent to which engagement varies
between employees.
Modelling engagement
4.3 As highlighted by CIPD (2007a) there is no definitive all-purpose list of engagementdrivers. There are many individual and organisational factors that determine whether employees become engaged, and to what extent they become engaged. This sectionhighlights the models that illustrate these factors and the importance that employees placeon them in becoming engaged.
4.4 The approach to employee engagement, discussed by Robinson et al (2004), stressesthe importance of 'feeling valued and involved' as a key driver of engagement. Withinthis umbrella of feeling valued and involved there are a number of elements that have avarying influence on the extent to which the employee will feel valued and involved andhence engaged. Figure 4.1, which is based on a diagnostic model in Robinson et al
7/30/2019 16507608 Mrp Project Mv
59/144
(2004), illustrates the drivers of engagement suggested through a survey of over 10,000 NHS employees. Robinson et al (2004) state that this can be a useful pointer toorganisations towards those aspects of working life that require serious attention if engagement levels are to be maintained or improved.

Source: Robinson et al (2004)
4.5 Although tested within the NHS, the authors suggest that many of the drivers of engagement will be common to all organisations, regardless of sector. However as isdiscussed later in this chapter, engagement levels can vary according to demographic and
job related factors. What is noted from the model above is that some of these factors arewhat would be fundamental or contractual requirements for the organisation (the
'hygiene' factors), such as pay and benefits and health and safety, whereas others are theareas where the organisation must 'go the extra mile' to ensure effective communication,management and cooperation.
4.6 Penna (2007) presents a hierarchical model of engagement factors (see figure 4.2),which illustrates the impact each level will have on the attraction, engagement andretention of talent. They propose a model with "meaning at work" at the apex, which theymaintain is borne out by the research carried out into meaning at work. In this context,Penna (2007) defines meaning at work as the situation where a job brings fulfilment for the employee, through the employee being valued, appreciated, having a sense of
belonging and congruence with the organisation and feel like they are making a
contribution. In this model, as the hierarchy ascends and the organisation successfullymeets each of these engagement factors, the organisation becomes more attractive to new potential employees and becomes more engaging to its existing staff.

4.7 Interestingly in this model the 'hygiene' factors appear at the foundation of the model,indicating the nature of these factors as a necessary, but not sufficient, building block upon which the organisation must further develop in order to engage staff.
4.8 Work by Schmidt (2004) (see figure 4.3) frames engagement within the context of organisational health and Workplace Well-Being 4 ( WWB). Engagement is defined bySchmidt (2004) as the overarching label that brings employee satisfaction andcommitment together. This model highlights the importance of commitment to the job asdriven by job satisfaction, and also notes the importance of the supportive organisation.By creating the right conditions to generate high levels of employee engagement, theorganisation can drive high performance - with high performance being defined as theachievement of the overarching public sector goal of advancing the public good. Themodel depicts the flow of organisational dynamics that begins with recruitment andmoves through support for work, to workplace well-being, to engagement and finally to
high levels of organisational performance.

4.9 This model implies that the foundations of engagement lie in policies to recruit andretain the right workforce ( i.e. in terms of employing specific competences, knowledgeand experiences required for success as well as diversity) and to promote health, safety,and well-being. Schmidt (2004) bases the model on a variety of studies and writings,implicit in which is the notion that it is WWB that drives engagement.
