The research question is what variables have positive relationship with work engagement. In order to reach accurate results for this research, the data is collected by applying questionnaires to employees about their personal and occupational perception as well as supervisor’s attitude and trustworthiness in addition to the employees’ work engagement. In addition to these; demographic variables like gender, tenure, age, company experience, total work experience, working in a local or multinational company and education levels are also taken into consideration. The sample of the research consists of 265 employees who work in multinational companies and local firms from different sectors and continuing their master education in Marmara and Istanbul Universities.
