The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent nurses are feeling work engagement in a rehabilitation hospital in Southern Finland, and which factors are tied to it. Work engagement focuses on the positive experiences that the coming workday brings. It can be described by three different aspects; vigor, dedication and absorption. A total of 46 nurses participated in the research (N= 46). UWES-9 form (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale) were used to measure work engagement. Influence, work atmosphere and organization-based self- esteem were also measured and how they are tied to work engagement. The result show that nurses are feeling a high level of work engagement. Influence, work atmosphere and organization-based self-esteem are connected with the level of work engagement.
