The Toxic Workplace Environment and Employees’ Engagement among KELAS Al-quran Dan Fardu Ain (KAFA) Teachers in Terengganu

Abstract

A toxic work environment is the most frequent cause of employee departure. In a toxic environment, stress, negativity, and conflict can flourish. In addition to having a detrimental impact on an employee's physical and mental health, it may also impair productivity and morale. This study tries to quantify the impact of a toxic workplace on Terengganu's Kelas Al-Quran Dan Fardhu Ain (KAFA) teachers' level of engagement. From Terengganu's KAFA teachers, 196 responders in total were chosen. Employees’ engagement was found to have a medium to strong correlation with three indicators, including workplace harassment, bullying, and ostracism. The study demonstrates a significant and beneficial relationship between workplace bullying, harassment, workplace ostracism and employees’ engagement. According to the study's findings, KAFA teachers should concentrate on reducing workplace bullying because it will increase their level of employees’ engagement. The study's research and practical consequences are then examined.
