Abstract: The motive of the study is to analyse the challenges of managers in IT sectors in re-engaging employees during the COVID-19 pandemic a situation when layoff was the buzz across the globe as organisations had come to a standstill. Every sector across the globe was affected and the fear of job uncertainty started looming. To motivate and reengage employees and rebuild trust had become a nightmare in such a scenario where in the future was bleak. In this exploratory study among IT employees, the multistage random sampling method is used to collect the data with a structured questionnaire. It was inferred from the study that the level of job security, adaptability, psychological availability, supportive supervision and employee engagement is low among the employees in this strong assertive situation, but employee reengagement is positively influenced by job security, adaptability, psychological availability, supportive supervision.

Keywords: job security; adaptability; psychological availability; supportive supervision; IT companies; COVID-19; re-engagement. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
