Abstract

In recent years, work engagement has attracted a lot of attention among practitioners and researchers in India. Against the backdrop of resource conservation, this study attempts to examine and understand the role of work engagement in mediating the relationship between job, personal resources and work related outcomes. This research is significant due to the growing importance of work engagement in the business world today and the lack of relevant literature in the Indian context. With a total sample of more than 200 middle and senior level executives, the findings of this study show a strong relationship between job, personal resources, job satisfaction, affective commitment and turnover. Work engagement was found to be a mediator between job and personal resources, which has an impact on employees' work attitudes. The findings of this study, therefore, have profound implications for researchers as well as for the practicing managers who need to understand the importance of an enabling work environment to harness employees' full potential.
