tõsisust

Töösisust, often translated as "work engagement" or "job engagement," refers to a psychological state characterized by vigor, dedication, and absorption in one's work. It is distinct from job satisfaction, which focuses on contentment with one's job, and performance, which measures the outcome of work. Work engagement is considered a positive and fulfilling work-related state.

Vigor involves high levels of energy and mental resilience while working, a willingness to invest effort in one's work, and persistence even in the face of difficulties. Dedication is characterized by a sense of significance, enthusiasm, and challenge in one's work. Absorption is characterized by being fully concentrated and happily engrossed in one's work, whereby time passes quickly and one has difficulties detaching oneself from work.

Factors contributing to work engagement are often categorized into job resources and personal resources. Job resources include aspects of the job that help in achieving work goals, reducing job demands, and stimulating personal growth, such as autonomy, feedback, social support, and opportunities for development. Personal resources refer to an individual's positive self-evaluations, such as self-efficacy, optimism, and resilience.

High levels of work engagement are associated with positive outcomes for both individuals and organizations, including increased productivity, better performance, higher job satisfaction, improved employee well-being, and reduced employee turnover. Conversely, low engagement can lead to burnout, disengagement, and negative organizational consequences.
