Abstract:
In the midst of our modern lives' hurry, engagement has become more than simply a
phrase; it is the unspoken pulse of our existence (Kahn, 1990). In the crowded city of
everyday existence, work engagement unfurls its roots in the soil of one’s daily tasks,
transforming the mundane into a symphony of purpose. Imagine a painter, fully immersed in
the strokes of a canvas, tapping into what Freud might call the unconscious reservoir of
creativity (Freud, 1923). This parallel holds true in the realm of work engagement, where
each task becomes a stroke on the canvas of professional journey. As the day progresses,
engagement extends beyond the individual, weaving a narrative that resonates throughout
organizational corridors. Just as a skilled conductor orchestrates a masterpiece, dedicated
people synchronize their efforts to create a harmonious melody in the workplace. As Freud
conceptualized the intricate interplay between the conscious and unconscious mind, his ideas
resonate with the notion that engagement is not merely a surface-level phenomenon but
reaches into the depths of our psychological architecture (Freud, 1923).
