Blossoming is considered to be an individual who is in a situation of prosperity, of development, a progressive state of satisfaction and well-being at work, whereas engagement in work refers to a situation of satisfaction with the activities carried out. These themes are still little explored together, but they are relevant in the context of the work.
Methodology / approach
A survey was carried out with the Hospital Alpha team. Data collection was performed using a research instrument that was divided into three parts. Data analysis and interpretation was performed using the SPSS® Software.
Main results
The sample was classified as flowering, showing no index of low flowering, only medium and high. In the aspect of engagement at work, only the absorption dimension had a low index. In general, Hospital Alpha professionals have medium and high levels of engagement.
