This equation can be written as 

\\\mathrm{\frac{x^2+ax -2 +3(x^2-x+1)}{x^2-x+1}> 0} \\\mathrm{\Rightarrow \frac{4x^2+(a-3)x+1}{x^2-x+1}>0} \\\mathrm{since\; denominator\;is \; always +ve,\; hence \; numerator\; must\; be \; +ve } \\\mathrm{\Rightarrow 4x^2+(a-3)x+1> 0 \Rightarrow D < 0 } \\\mathrm{\Rightarrow (a-3)^2-16 <0 \Rightarrow a \in (-1, 7)}
