Abstract
Work engagement, driven by intrinsic motivation, builds a sense of pride and results in work flow. According to Wikipedia, the employee “engagement is about ‘one who is fully absorbed by and enthusiastic about their work by taking positive action to the organization’s reputation and interests.’” The basic care of nursing is patient assessment, monitoring vital signs, ensuring patient safety, providing comfort, administering medication, communication and intervention. Work engagement in nursing is the care directed towards their work as holistic ‘engaged wellbeing solutions.’ When nurses are cognitively engaged – they are committed to their job; when physically engaged – they are invested in their work; when emotionally engaged – they are emotionally connected to their work and when behaviourally engaged - they are focused on the behaviour of individuals with no consideration of the context.
