Today's managers are working hard to improve their performance in the face of increasing competition and obstacles. Organizational objectives can only be met if employees are engaged with their jobs. In addition, they indicated that further research is needed to determine how it affects performance. Emotional involvement in the workplace can be described as "putting one's heart and soul into one's work. The study aimed to investigate the impact of work engagement on boosting productivity at selected private businesses in Erbil. The research hypothesis was tested using a quantitative research approach. As requested by participants, the researcher withheld any identifying information from published findings, so that no one would be able to identify the firms involved. Only 97 of the 110 questionnaires provided by the researcher at private enterprises in Kurdistan were filled out and returned by the participants. The findings showed that work engagement has a positive and significant influence on boosting productivity at selected private businesses in Erbil.
