EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
Macauley (2015) described the importance of employee engagement as
Engaged employees care about the future of their organization, have a strong emotional bond to their organization, are vested to ensure the success of their organization, and have both their hearts and heads engaged in their work. 5 This commitment and bond with their organization leads to higher productivity, increased profits, improved safety, and lower absenteeism. (p. 298).

Adaptive leadership is defined as a form of leadership that encourages and builds upon the interactive relationships within an organization (Sharpe & Creviston, 2013). “Adaptive leaders succeed because they are able to accurately diagnose the situation and vary their behavior and the behavior of their subordinates accordingly” (Sharpe & Creviston, 2013, p. 6).
