tööhõlmumist

Tööhõlmumine, commonly translated as work engagement, is a psychological state characterized by vigor, dedication, and absorption in one's work. It describes an employee's positive and fulfilling work-related state of mind. Vigor refers to high levels of energy and mental resilience while working, a willingness to invest effort in one's job, and persistence even in the face of difficulties. Dedication involves a sense of significance, enthusiasm, and challenge in one's work, leading to a feeling of pride and stimulation. Absorption is characterized by being fully concentrated and happily engrossed in one's work, where time passes quickly and it is difficult to detach oneself from the job.

Work engagement is distinct from job satisfaction, though they are related. While job satisfaction focuses on contentment with one's job, engagement emphasizes the active involvement and commitment. Engaged employees are typically more productive, innovative, and committed to their organizations. They tend to have lower rates of absenteeism and turnover. Factors contributing to work engagement include supportive leadership, opportunities for development, meaningful work, and positive relationships with colleagues. Organizations that foster work engagement often see improved performance and a healthier work environment. Research in this area continues to explore the antecedents and consequences of this important workplace phenomenon.
