Journal Title: Annals of Contemporary Developments in Management & HR - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The current paper aimed to drive the attention of employee wellbeing scholars on the concept of job demands. The author has worked to indicate that there has been a significant amount of attention paid to elements that could enhance individual psychological wellbeing at work, famously known as engagement. However, not equitable scholarly attention has been paid to the factors that act as depleting factors of psychological resourcefulness of individuals thus, resulting in decreasing employees` work engagement. Through performing critical review of promising literature on the topic, the current paper has underlined that job demands have a major role in deciding upon the level of engagement of an employee at work wherein, workload and emotional demands are the most critical ones. The paper has concluded by welcoming aspiring scholars on the topic to further study to help practitioners understand the consequences of job demands and how to go about avoiding them to ensure healthy levels of employees` work engagement.
