"This volume is outstanding and absolutely innovative. The recent evolution in the field calls for the publication of a thorough and complete overview, as offered in this volume.

"Work Engagement: A Handbook of Essential Theory and Research provides a comprehensive examination of the work engagement construct. It provides enough background information to serve as an advance primer to the topic area. Yet it also provides enough novel empirical work to be of interest to those already familiar with the topic. I believe it would be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the systematic study and development of work engagement." - David J. Woehr, Professor of Management, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA
"The editors have included the latest thinking and research findings in this collection. This volume is timely, research based, links well with emerging concepts in positive psychology, includes new concepts such as state work engagement and vigor, and offers practical applications for those committed to making workplaces more effective. A must read for anyone interested in the current state of our understanding of work engagement" - Ronald J. Burke, Professor of Organizational Behaviour, Sculick School of Business, York University, Canada

Overall, this book provides an excellent review of knowledge on the fundamental topic of work engagement." - Michael West, Aston Business School, UK
