Abstract

The work deals with the problems of a self-development organization considered as a self-organization system without hierarchy and employee position. Such kind of management is realized by self-management teams having full authority, responsibility and focus on the result. An individual and group motivation mechanism uses the employee potential to achieve one’s ambition targets. The employee and one’s potential are engaged with a maximum power in all fields of activity. Enterprises management explores employee engagement to estimate and manage this process. Each manager has enough cases when employee goes far beyond job responsibilities to achieve the result. This employee is engaged taking an initiative and informal responsibility. Engagement is a multidimensional construction, which demonstrates employee wishes to invest self-resources (knowledge, skills, competences, emotions and power) in enterprises activity. Engagement is a positive moment implying active involvement, loyalty and direct work. A lot of engagement investigations are aimed at management, result and employee’s participation in organization management. The study of employee’s initiative is a part of employee’s engagement according to infrastructure and information factors at industrial enterprises in Perm region described in the article.
