AN ANALYSIS OF WORK ENGAGEMENT BASED ON THE JOB DEMANDS-RESOURCES (JD-R) MODEL:

EMPIRICAL FINDINGS UNDER REMOTE WORK ENVIRONMENTS IN JAPAN

抄録

The construct of work engagement has attracted considerable attentions in academic and practitioner communities. This study examined the job demands-resources (JD-R) model under remote work environments during the COVID-19. Hypotheses were tested by a structural equation modelling with the data of 648 remote workers surveyed by Persol Research and Consulting (2020). Results found that: a) job resources especially autonomy, social support, and professional development increase work engagement; b)job resources have a strong correlation with personal resources; c) personal resources such asorganizational-based self-esteem, optimism and self-efficacy decrease exhaustion. Discussions for thevalidity of JD-R model and practical implications for remote work environments were presented.
