Abstract

Information interpretation is the process of giving general meaning to generally distributed information.  Information interpretation enhances the employee affective engagement, based on the fact that employees’ become emotionally invested to work and job task. But despite the importance placed on information interpretation many employees are void of the energy and enthusiasm required for their jobs. Hence, this paper establishes the relationship between information interpretation and employee affective engagement. The use of human capital theory and conceptual analysis were adopted to espouse the managerial practices that facilitate the learning process leading to employee affective engagement. The paper concludes with managerial and policy implication.

Keywords: Human Capital, Interpretation, Learning, Engagement.
