Abstract

Job and personal resources are the main predictors of engagement; these resources gain their salience in the context of high job demands. Engaged workers are more creative, more productive, and more willing to go the extra mile.Originality/valueThe findings of previous studies are integrated in an overall model that can be used to develop work engagement and advance career development in today's workplace.
