# High satisfaction vs. low engagement (or vice versa)?

It is not unlikely to see a low satisfaction score and a higher engagement score (or vis versa) in survey results as these are two very different concepts. Engaged employees are deeply invested in their work and tend to go the extra mile to help the organization reach its broader goals. They also have a sense of connection and commitment to their organization.

A satisfied employee simply enjoys their job. Satisfied employees may be happy with their work-life balance, compensation and their job security, but don’t feel the need to put in extra work and don't have a deep connection to their employer. Satisfaction is generally enough to retain employees, however it does not ensure that these employees are highly productive.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.talentmap.com/site-faq/faq/general/high-satisfaction-vs.-low-engagement-or-vice-versa.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
