Abstract
Every company needs employees who actively contribute to achieving its goals. PT X is one of the companies engaged in the manufacturing industry. Currently, PT X has shown remarkable progress. The success of PT X is certainly inseparable from employees with the capability to adapt and provide benefits to the company. In carrying out their duties, employees at PT X show a high level of dedication and are willing to apply their energy to optimally complete the work demands given to them. Previous studies have shown that the level of work engagement among employees in Indonesia can vary from company to company. Based on the results of previous studies, there is still inconsistency in the final results of the high or low level of work engagement of an individual, even different in each dimension. The purpose of this study is to re-examine the high or low level of work engagement among employees at PT. X. This study is a quantitative research with 100 employees at PT. X as the subjects. Data collection in this study was obtained using purposive sampling techniques with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-17 (UWES-17) instrument online and six Likert scales. The results of the study show that the overall mean (4.62) and mean per dimension vigor (4.6), dedication dimension (4.84), absorption dimension (4.45) are classified as high. This study recommends that company management maintain the level of work engagement among employees through various human resource programs.
