Conclusions. This study contributes to develop conceptual framework of engagement culture, positive work behavior, and organizational success. This research provides practice literacy for managers and policymakers to design inclusive, trust-based, and adaptive engagement strategies. Future research is proposed for empirical testing across sectors and cultural contexts.
