The influence of Internet of Things on employee’s engagement among generation Y at the workplace

Abstract

This study provides the analysis of the influences Internet of Things (IoT) have towards employee engagement among generation Y in the workplace. Due to the declining levels of engagement among employees, especially among generation Y, a study of the influences towards the engagement levels are crucial. IoT is used for our daily activities thus, it acts as an influencer. Using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), United Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and employee engagement model, the conceptual model for the research is developed. A total of 384 respondents are targeted for the research. The responses will be analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Software. The aspects of performance expectancy of IoT, effort expectancy of IoT, facilitating conditions for IoT, attitude towards using IoT and the perceived enjoyment towards IoT are the focus of this research. The use of IoT has a mediating role in the model. The research will contribute towards the development and performances of organizations.
