The dictionary form is 関わる and it is read かかわる.

In this sentence:

• 関わって = the て-form of 関わる
• います = the polite form of いる

So 関わっています is the polite -te iru form of 関わる.

A natural way to understand 関わる here is to be involved in, to have to do with, or to take part in.

With 関わる, the particle に marks the thing that someone is involved in or connected with.

So:

• この仕事に関わる = to be involved in this work/project/job

You can think of に here as pointing to the target of involvement.

This is a common pattern:

• 研究に関わっている = is involved in research
• 計画に関わっている = is involved in the plan
• 事件に関わっている = is involved in the incident

Not exactly.

In many cases, ～ている can mean an ongoing action, like is eating or is reading. But with some verbs, it describes a continuing state rather than an action happening at this exact moment.

Here, 関わっている usually means:

• is involved
• has an ongoing connection
• is engaged in

So this sentence does not usually mean is right now in the middle of getting involved. It means the person is currently in the state of being involved.

Because 関わっています sounds natural for describing someone's current involvement.

Compare:

• 関わります: can sound more like will be involved, am involved in a general/future sense, or a formal statement of intention depending on context
• 関わっています: clearly shows an ongoing current state, am involved / am working in connection with

So if you want to say someone is already involved now, 関わっています is the usual choice.

Not always. 仕事 can mean:

• job
• work
• task
• project
• business/work activity

In this sentence, the exact meaning depends on context.

So この仕事に関わっています could mean:

• I’m involved in this job
• I’m involved in this work
• I’m involved in this project

If the speaker is talking about a specific assignment or project, work/project may sound more natural than job.

No, the nuance is different.

• この仕事に関わっています = I am involved in this work/project
• この仕事で働いています = I work in this job / I work at this kind of work

関わっています focuses on involvement or participation. It does not necessarily mean this is the speaker's full-time job or main employment.

For example, someone could say この仕事に関わっています even if they are helping, cooperating, advising, or participating only in one part of it.

The subject is omitted, which is very common in Japanese.

So depending on context, it could mean:

• I am involved in this work
• We are involved in this work
• He is involved in this work
• She is involved in this work

Japanese often leaves out the subject when it is already understood from the situation.

This is a very common question.

It is true that いる by itself is used for animate beings, but here います is not being used as the main verb meaning to exist. It is part of the grammar pattern ～ている.

So in 関わっています, the います is an auxiliary helping form the aspect of the verb. That is why it appears here even though 仕事 is not a living thing.

It is mostly neutral.

It can be used in positive, neutral, or negative contexts:

• 教育に関わっている = involved in education
• 企画に関わっている = involved in the project planning
• 事件に関わっている = involved in the incident

So the verb itself does not automatically sound good or bad. The surrounding context decides the tone.

The casual form is:

この仕事に関わっている。

The difference is just politeness:

• 関わっています = polite
• 関わっている = plain/casual

The meaning stays basically the same.

No, normally Japanese is written without spaces.

The standard written sentence is:

この仕事に関わっています。

Spaces are often added in learning materials to make the parts easier to see:

• この
• 仕事
• に
• 関わって
• います

But in natural Japanese writing, you usually will not see those spaces.
