Al giorno d'oggi, siamo tutti travolti da possibili innovazioni e cambiamenti che ci circondano, sia nella nostra vita privata che professionale. Il fattore chiave per far accadere queste innovazioni è in realtà coinvolgere le persone su di esse. Come Kruger (2007) ha osservato che i livelli più alti di coinvolgimento sono fortemente legati a livelli più alti di innovazione, questa ricerca è finalizzata alla creazione di uno strumento per misurare l'impegno degli individui al fine di essere in grado di studiare da cosa dipende e come aumentare esso. Tra tutte le definizioni di coinvolgimento in questa ricerca, l'impegno è definito come una mano attiva più un cuore assorbito più una mente dedicata in un'attività. In questo articolo l'estrazione di oggetti simili da strutture esistenti suggerite da diversi studiosi di piombo che erano adatti a misurare ogni dimensione di impegno (che qui sono 'mano', 'cuore' e 'testa') un nuovo questionario verbale auto-segnalato è stato creato e abbinato a tre serie di immagini metaforiche (ciascuna per la misurazione di una dimensione) che sono state prodotte da un approccio scientifico. Quindi la validità di questo strumento visivo-verbale è stata esaminata e provata dall'analisi multivariata e univariata delle varianze.

Abstract
Nowadays we are all overwhelmed by possible innovations and changes around us, both in our private and professional lives. The key factor to make these innovations happen is actually to engage people onto them. As Kruger (2007) noted that higher levels of engagement are strongly related to higher levels of innovation this research is aimed at the creation of a tool to measure engagement of individuals in order to be able to study what it depends on and how to increase it. Among all definitions of engagement in this research, engagement is defined as an active hand plus an absorbed heart plus a dedicated mind in an activity. In this paper by the extraction of similar items out of existing frameworks suggested by different lead scholars that were suitable to measure each dimension of engagement ( which here are ‘hand’, ‘heart’ and ‘head’) a new verbal self-reported questionnaire was created and paired with three set of metaphorical images (each set for measurement of one dimension) which were produced out of a scientific approach. Then the validity of this visual-verbal tool was examined and proved by multivariate and univariate analysis of variances.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
