Abstract
This study investigated the effect of quality of work life (QWL) on employee engagement in small enterprises in Kogi State, Nigeria. The study used a survey research design, which involved collecting data from a sample of 250 employees of small enterprises, with a specific focus on key personnel. A well-structured questionnaire was developed and administered to the participants. The internal consistency of the instrument was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Statistical methods such as mean, standard deviation, and regression analysis were employed to analyze the quantitative data and determine the effects and relationships between the independent and dependent variables. The results showed that work environment, work time, and work conditions have significant positive effect on employees' commitment, turnover intentions, and job satisfaction. This study also established that improved work conditions can increase employee commitment to the enterprise's success. The findings of this study were essential for small enterprise owners and managers to understand the factors influencing their employees' attitudes and behaviors.
