The research that I am working on will touch on workplace engagement, satisfaction, and enjoyment. I feel like it is a little lazy (read: inaccurate) to jumble them together as if they were the same thing. What are your thoughts on measurement(s) that cover one but not the other two? eg: So far I am thinking that the UWES-17 does a good job of covering work engagement (via vigor, dedication and absorption) that is different from enjoyment or satisfaction. Thoughts?
Thanks Mumtaz! I had looked at Saks (2006), but because I am trying to sparse out the constructs, not combine them, I would have to use specific sub-scales of Saks (not a big deal). Unfortunately, I was hoping for a little more meat than the three item job satisfaction sub-scale in Saks. Also, my other hesitation is that the scale overall seems rather externally focused (how someone else treats me, what rewards I get, what the environment is like, etc) and I am hoping to focus more on the intrinsic satisfaction/engagement/enjoyment aspects, if possible.
With that said, thank you for giving me this opportunity to clarify :)
