Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

In this chapter, we review promising work engagement interventions. We discuss five different levels of intervention: (a) organizational level, (b) team level, (c) job level, (d) person level, and (e) activity level. Next to top-down job design approaches, these interventions include agile work practices and focus on job crafting, personal resources, strengths use, proactive vitality management, and playful work design. We position each of these approaches in Job Demands–Resources theory and discuss how the interventions and their blends can blow a wind of organizational change.
