Your boss has asked you for evidence that shows the link between employee attitudes such as job satisfaction, commitment, and engagement, and both individual an d organizational outcomes. Develop a logical argument for how these are connected to one another and outcomes (individual and organizational). Use the textbook (and the studies it cites) or other sources to support your argument. Job satisfaction, commitment, and engagement are unarguably interconnected in that each contributes to the individual and organization’s success. First, we must look at them individually to find the connection that links them. Changing employee attitudes and engagement can lead them to do tasks that are beyond their formal job descriptions (Cascio & Boudreau, 2011).

(2011). Investing in people: Financial impact of human resource initiatives . FT Press. Response to Latanna Stone and Omaima Hi Latanna, Echoing other people's comments on an excellent job of breaking down each aspect of the employee's attitude and contributing to the success of the company's outcome as well as for the individual. I shared a similar view with you on the outcome of job satisfaction, employee commitment, and employee engagement. Inarguably, there is definitely a positive correlation between the employee's engagement and the company's performance outcome as well as individual.
