Abstract
Employee engagement is associated with many benefits such as performance, motivation,
creativity, and accomplishing business goals. The aim of this study was to examine the
effect physical work environment (PWE), perceived organizational support (POS), and
employee well-being has on engagement to generate creativity. Innovation has been a
key contributor to the economic growth in the U.S.A. and there would not be innovation
without creativity, which is the basis of innovation. A survey was conducted on 99
randomly selected participants that were 18 years and older with at least three months of
work experience. The data revealed creativity did not relate to any other factor.
However, engagement positively correlated with POS, PWE, and employee well-being.
The most remarkable finding of this study was discovering a significant relationship
between PWE and engagement despite a lack of research that supports this relationship.
The results were discussed in detail and future considerations, limitations, and practical
implications were also explored.
