Abstract

Work engagement is a key factor determining an organization’s success in achieving optimal performance. Adequate human resources are believed to enhance employee motivation and commitment, thereby fostering a more productive work environment. This study aims to analyze the role of human resources in enhancing work engagement, with job satisfaction serving as a mediating variable. The research method employed is a quantitative approach using convenience sampling. A total of 350 active employees in Indonesia participated in this study by completing an online questionnaire using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale by Schaufeli & Bakker in 2004, the Job Demands-Resources Questionnaire by Bakker in 2014, and the Job Satisfaction Measurement: The Alternative Method by Suyasa in 2007. The results indicate that job resources contribute positively and significantly to increased work engagement, and job satisfaction was found to act as a partial mediator in this relationship. These findings have important implications for organizations in designing and implementing human resource management strategies focused on enhancing job satisfaction as a means to strengthen employee work engagement.
