Kahn's Model of Engagement

Kahn's Model of Engagement suggests that employees become more committed and effective when they feel safe, meaningful, and available at work. "Psychological safety" means feeling comfortable sharing ideas without fear of judgment. "Hibernate" relates to feeling valued and a sense of purpose in their tasks, making their work meaningful. "Availability" refers to having the energy and focus to fully engage in work tasks. When these elements are present, employees are more motivated, committed, and perform better, fostering a positive work environment and stronger organizational outcomes.
