According To Gallup Management Journal findings, there essentially are three types of employees working in an organization:

ENGAGED employees – work with passion and feel a profound connection to their company. They drive innovation and move the organization.

NOT-ENGAGED employees are essentially “checked out”. They are sleepwalking through their workday, putting time – but not with energy or passion into their work.

ACTIVELY DISENGAGED employees – aren’t just unhappy at work; they’re busy acting out their unhappiness. Everyday, these workers undermine what their engaged co-worker accomplish. This kind is an extension of not-engaged employees. If the Manager or the HR or the employee himself/herself is able to nip the not-engaged employee in the bud, this situation could be avoided.

So where would you put yourself amongst the three? If you are an actively disengaged employee and cannot find drivers to motivate you, the first suggestion would be to look for another opportunity. Your dream job with the dream salary might take a while but once the opportunity knocks at your door, voila! You are ready to put your papers down.
