Abstract

This study aims to investigate how work engagement of the employees of PT X in Jakarta, Indonesia, may be influenced and promoted by psychological capital and job resources. Work engagement is a unique, positive, satisfying, work-related state of mind characterized by vigor, dedication, and absorption that eventually will lead to positive outcomes, such as work performance. Bakker & Demerouti (2016) [1] conceptualized that psychological capital and job resources consist of factors that may predict the work engagement. In this research, the influences of psychological capital and job resources will be measured partially and simultaneously to find out how significant the influences that both of the two variables cause towards work engagement. Applying the non-experimental quantitative research method, data is collected by distributing the questionnaires to the employees and being analyzed by using single regression and multiple regression analysis method. The result of this research shows that both variables contribute significantly towards work engagement (p= 0.039 < 0.05, and job resources p= 0.014 < 0.05), and partially psychological capital contributes 4.3% and job resources contribute 7.7% towards work engagement, while simultaneously both psychological capital and job resources yield contribution as many as 8.5% while proving that it is also significant while being developed together (R2 = 0.085 and p = 0.014 < 0.05).
