Most enzymes are proteins. And just like any other protein, enzymes are also affected by changes temperature.
A general factor that affects all chemical reactions would be the number of collisions. Increasing the temperature around an enzyme increases the kinetic energy of the system, causing an increase in the number of collisions, leading to an increased rate of reaction.
