Abstract:

Introduction: Employee Engagement (EE) is a key priority in organizations. The main goals of this study are to analyze the effect of a toxic work environment (TWE) on employee engagement, to understand the mediating role of organizational support (OS) and employee wellbeing (EWB), and to find associated demographic data on EE.

Methods: The current study used a quantitative approach. The convenience sampling technique was chosen, and 151 employees participated. The instrument that the researcher used was robust, had been thoroughly tested for reliability, and had received written approval from researchers to be used as standard tool. Descriptive analysis, regression model, t- test and ANOVA test were used to assess the data.

Results: According to the findings of the present study, TWE has a negative impact on EE at work. OS and EWB are all terms used to describe a toxic workplace environment. Furthermore, EE is associated with demographic characteristics such as age, and experience.

Conclusion: The higher authorities should enhance and implement employee well-being systems and OS in order to boost EE and well-being.
