Career plateauing effect on employee engagement -

Abstract

In general, one of the most essential assets of companies and organizations are employees and human capital. There is a large interest in studying the employees’ behavior towards work and companies, or more specifically employee engagement. Of particular aspect of employee engagement, this study will explore the correlation and effect of career plateauing on employee engagement. Considering the current difficult Lebanese market economic conditions where companies have lean organizations and structures, employees have less opportunities to evolve in their career which might lead to a bulk of employees facing career plateauing. .Career plateauing can have harmful effects on the employee himself and the organization. In this paper we will research the different impact that career plateauing can have on employee engagement in the local Lebanese context. More specifically, we will explore the engagement of career-plateaued employees within Holcim Lebanon, a cement company in Lebanon. This project will study the relationship between career plateauing, recognition, and employee engagement in order to provide the company with a set of recommendations and actions.
