1. Introduction -- 2. Antecedents of Behavior Supporting Bottom-up Operations Strategy Formation -- 3. Helping Colleagues, Improving Operations Quality, or Just Doing One's Job? - An Empirical Examination of Employee Behavior -- 4. Basic Human Needs and Organizational Justice Explain Job Satisfaction, But Do They Predict Individual Performance? -- 5. Conclusion.

This book focuses on top-down and bottom-up antecedents for employee engagement. It combines Operations Management (OM) with elements from Human Resource Management (HRM) and Organizational Behavior (OB) to answer the overarching question: "How is operations strategy formation influenced by the individual employee?" Dedicated chapters investigate key research questions, closing the integration gap between OM and HRM/OB. The book develops and statistically analyzes an operations strategy opportunity-motivation-ability framework. In addition, it examines how basic need fulfillment and organizational fairness relate to job satisfaction and performance. By doing so, the book helps readers to better understand employees' preferences and enables operations managers to foster strategy-supportive behavior and job satisfaction more effectively in their workforces.
