This paper uses empirical methods to see the influence of mindfulness to health worker’s engagement using psychological capital as a mediator for health workers. Subjects and method: Health workers in DKI Jakarta participated in the study (N=280). The data were analyzed using structural equation modelling. Results: The results show that mindfulness is fully mediated by psychological capital. The findings can be used to increase their work engagement by exploring more deeply the use of psychological capital, and mindfulness and ultimately increasing the engagement of health workers themselves and the services provided. Conclusion: This study found a connection between mindfulness and work engagement through psychological capital and not directly from mindfulness to work engagement. This means that psychological capital is important in building a good engagement. Positive psychological capital can lead health workers to contribute more and be more engaged in their work.
