There can be identified several different approaches toward defining the term in the academic literature. Yet there is no general agreement on one single approach. At the same time the concept is a subject to objections, that it brings nothing new and extra above the existing work concepts, especially work satisfaction and organizational commitment.

Afterwards I define engagement on its own and strive for systematic classification of its concepts. Via compilation of theoretical...
