?:abstract
  • The prevalence of work-related stress and its consequences, such as burnout, are rising and are seen as one of the greatest challenges facing Europe regarding safe and healthy work. Policies aimed at work engagement reduce the prevalence of work-related stress and enhances the performance at work of employees. Although recent research claims that work engagement is related to specific country-level influences (such as work centrality), theoretical arguments remain unclear. This study focusses on explaining how the national perception of work centrality in European member states moderates the relationship between job resources and work engagement. By building on job demands-resources model and the conservation of resources theory, it is expected that the negative effect of a lack of job resources on work engagement is stronger for employees’ who live in a European member state with a weak perception on work centrality because they are less motivated to develop new or retain job resources. In order to provide an answer to the research question, multilevel model analysis is conducted based on the national representative Sixth European Working Conditions Survey 2017, which is conducted in 28 European member states. The results of this study show the opposite of what is expected from the theory. The negative effect of job resources on work engagement is stronger for employees’ who live in a European member state which has a strong perception of work centrality, instead of employees’ who live in a European member state with a weak perception of work centrality. At last, the study shows that country-level variables only explain a very small part of the variance of work engagement and, therefore, support the claim that job resources are the most important predictors of work engagement and that the relationship is very robust against country-specific influences.
