Abstract:

An environment that is both positive and productive at work is essential to the organization's success. A healthy and positive work environment increases employee engagement and a sense of purpose. The study looked at the current organizational climate and employee engagement of a privately held company in the Cebu City retail hardware industry. A descriptive- correlational method was used to evaluate the variables and their associations. For a smaller population, Cochran's sampling method yielded 52 respondents. The weighted mean and Pearson correlation coefficient were used for the study's data analysis. According to the results, respondents strongly agreed and regarded their organizational climate as very important, with a weighted mean of 3.26 and 3.40, respectively. Additionally, respondents strongly agreed that the organization gave employee engagement a high priority. All relationships considered for the study correlate, as indicated by Pearson r. The researchers concluded that employees perceive their workplaces as healthy, which leads to positive employee engagement. The study also provided several recommendations to improve the organizational climate, employee engagement, and new research directions for academics.
