Abstract

Flere perspektiver har undersøgt medarbejderengagement; dog meget lidt inden for forskellige områder. Når man kender det positive forhold mellem medarbejderengagement og medarbejdernes præstationer og de ulemper, som medarbejdernes frigørelse kan have på medarbejdernes fysiske og mentale helbred, kan behovet for at undersøge medarbejderengagement kan ikke understreges nok. Denne undersøgelse forsøger at undersøge sammenhængen mellem knowledge management og medarbejderengagement i en nordisk regeringsstyret organisation. Ved at anvende en blandet metodetilgang sigter denne undersøgelse på at få en dybdegående indsigt i medarbejdernes engagement i Det Nordiske Hus på Island, Færøerne og NAPA i Grønland, der følger en videnstyringsstil. Resultaterne indikerede, at der er en neutral til den positive sammenhæng mellem knowledge management og medarbejderengagement.

Several perspectives have investigated employee engagement; however, very little to none concerning knowledge management. Knowing the positive relationship of employee engagement to staff members’ performance and the disadvantages that employee disengagement can have on employees’ physical and mental health, the need to examine employee engagement further cannot be emphasized. This study seeks to investigate the correlation between knowledge management and employee engagement in a Nordic government-run organization. By employing a mixed-method approach, this study aims to gain in-depth insight into employees’ engagement in the Nordic House in Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and NAPA in Greenland, which follows a knowledge management style. The results indicated that there is a neutral to the positive correlation between knowledge management and employee engagement.
