The study aimed to assess the basic psychological need satisfaction and how it affects employees' work engagement in Tangub City Global College, Tangub City, during the school year 2023-2024. Survey, descriptive, and correlational research methods were used in the study using the questionnaire checklist, weighted mean, standard deviation, and Spearman Rank-Order Correlation Coefficient. The results showed that the respondents rated their satisfaction with basic psychological needs as very satisfied and their level of work engagement as "very highly engaged." Furthermore, the study found a strong and positive connection between basic psychological need satisfaction and work engagement among employees. Employees who strongly affirm their work engagement also highly affirm their basic psychological need satisfaction. To continually sustain or maintain the employees' management trust and work commitment to the institution, the Tabgub City Global College, Tangub City, must keep a team of highly motivated and satisfied employees. The management should ensure that they build a more satisfied workplace and drive higher employee physical engagement.
