Hi everyone,
I am a third year student and currently working on my final year project. My research topic is about work from home and employees' engagement during Covid-19. Therefore, I would like to know what measurement are suitable for my topic?
Thank you.
Mixed methods that integrate quantitative and qualitative techniques may yield both significant and meaningful results. For example, you could consider regular clocking in at work with random experience sampling methods that measure the quality of everyday work life.
Computer based surveillence might be an interesting approach (much more common in America than UK where GDPS regs apply): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/27/shirking-from-home-staff-feel-the-heat-as-bosses-ramp-up-remote-surveillance
One of the most used scales for employee engagement is the UWES-9 developed by Schaufeli et al. Details are as follows:

Dear Su Ngiek Kiong try to read some of the most relevant Engagement literature to understand the construct first as there are many streams of engagement research having more than half a dozen measurement scales. By reading the following references you will have an idea and it will be easy for you to chose one. Tq.
