Case study
XYZ Corporation is a leading technology company known for innovation and excellence. However,
recent employee engagement surveys indicate growing disengagement among employees, leading to
declining productivity and morale. The HR department has identified that employees feel unheard, lack
trust in leadership, and believe the reward system is unfair.
Scenario:
Sarah, a mid-level manager at XYZ Corporation, has noticed that her team is divided into three
categories:
1. Engaged Employees – Passionate, innovative, and eager to contribute beyond their job roles.
2. Not Engaged Employees – Show up, complete tasks, but lack motivation and commitment.
3. Actively Disengaged Employees – Display negative behavior, resist new initiatives, and spread
dissatisfaction.
Recently, Sarah was informed that some employees are receiving incentives based solely on sales
performance rather than ethical behavior and teamwork. She also discovered that her team’s feedback
about improving company culture is often ignored by senior management.

Based on the above case study answer the following questions:
1. What are some key drivers of engagement that were discussed in chapter 8, and how do they
relate to Sarah’s situation? (2 Marks)
The key drivers of engagement and their relevance to Sarah’s case are:

Restricted – ‫مقيد‬

Line of Sight: Employees need to understand how their efforts contribute to the
organization’s success. In Sarah’s case, her team feels that leadership does not value
their contributions, leading to disengagement.

Involvement: Employees should be actively involved in decision-making. In the case
study, Sarah’s team members feel unheard because management ignores their
feedback, reducing their engagement.
Information Sharing: Open communication is essential for trust. If senior
management at XYZ Corporation does not share information or respond to concerns,
employees may feel disconnected.
Rewards and Recognition: A fair reward system motivates employees. Since
incentives at XYZ are based solely on sales rather than ethical behavior, it creates
frustration among employees and discourages teamwork.

2. Identify at least two ethical issues present in XYZ Corporation’s employee engagement
practices. Justify your reasoning. (2 Marks)

Unfair Reward System: Employees are rewarded based only on sales rather than
ethical behavior and teamwork. This could lead to unethical practices to achieve high
sales.
Lack of Transparency and Employee Voice: Employee concerns are ignored by
leadership, leading to mistrust and disengagement. Organizations that fail to listen to
employees create a culture of silence and dissatisfaction.

3. What steps should she take to ensure her actions align with ethical leadership principles?
Explain. (2 Marks)




Gather Evidence: Collect employee feedback and engagement survey results.
Communicate with Leadership: Present concerns to senior management with clear
data.
Advocate for Change: Propose changes to the reward system and feedback
processes.
Encourage Open Dialogue: Create forums where employees can share concerns
safely.
Lead by Example: Demonstrate ethical leadership by recognizing and rewarding
ethical behavior in her team.

4. What role does transparency play in building trust between employees and senior
management? (2 Marks)


Enhances Credibility: Employees trust leaders who communicate openly.
Encourages Ethical Behavior: Transparency ensures that unethical practices are
exposed and addressed.
Increases Engagement: Employees feel valued when they see leadership responding
to their concerns

5. If you were Sarah, how would you approach the issue with senior leadership? (2 Marks)
Student answer may vary:
