The Role of Transparent Communication and Leadership in Employee Engagement

Abstract

“Employees don’t quit their jobs; they quit their bosses”!(Kiehne, 2017). A cheerful workplace draws in great people and turn, advances a culture of usefulness and responsibility – a distressing climate will most certainly destroy company culture. As an employee, it is important to feel the sense of confidence and assurance provided by your leader. Organizations and their employees have begun to recognize the importance of transparent communication and leadership in enterprises. This article presents how authentic leadership simultaneously affects the employee's engagement, performance, and transparent communication. Moreover, it will additionally propose how transparent communication has a concurrent effect on employee engagement (physical engagement, emotional engagement, and cognitive engagement). To further elaborate, it will present the outcome of transparent communications based on the study providing empirical evidence in a sample of 210 employees of medium and large IT enterprises in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia. The findings indicate a strong link between transparent and employee communication in enterprises.
