Abstract:

This research examined the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and employee engagement, using a sample of 372 employees from small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Syria. Our study aimed to provide an empirical understanding of the intricacies that interplay between the entrepreneurial orientation of firms and the level of employee engagement. The results indicate a positive correlation between these two factors. The insights provided by this study may be valuable for business owners, policymakers, and researchers alike.

Keywords:
