Delegation and Employee Engagement: A Theoretical Review

Abstract

There is an annual expense associated with disengaged personnel. Examining the theoretical connection between delegation and employee engagement was the driving force behind this research. This research was based on the theories of social exchange and leader-member exchange. Based on a comprehensive review of the relevant literature, this study establishes a clear correlation between delegation and increased levels of employee engagement. Delegation that works offers employees with a sense of agency and managers with a method for encouraging and assessing employee performance that is collaborative, coordinated, and all-encompassing. The study advises that managers distribute jobs to employees based on their abilities, interests, and availability, and that they explain the task's significance to the individual.
