The concept of employee engagement is becoming increasingly relevant as high engagement has many positive effects on both the organization and its employees. Employee engagement means that employees are fulfilled and positively inclined towards their work. Engaged employees are those who are highly committed to their work and, as a result, feel a sense of importance, enthusiasm, pride, and challenge. Employee engagement in work helps the organization achieve better performance and also retains the best employees while reducing turnover rates. Workplace factors can be divided into physical and psychological. Results show that there is a strong linear relationship between age and length of employment, between the variables of length of employment and the number of years in the current organization, and between autonomy and an ethical environment. The results show that the variables of the work environment questionnaire are statistically significantly related to employee engagement in work and are almost all significantly correlated with each other. Results of regression analysis show that the variables of autonomy, relationships with colleagues, and length of employment have a statistically significant impact on employee engagement in work. The primary objective of this master's thesis is to make a scholarly contribution to the field of work environments and employee engagement.. Another goal is to determine how the work environment influences the engagement of employees. Given the scarcity of such research in the Slovenian context, this study aims to contribute new knowledge to the field.
