“…While trait rather than state PGO was investigated in this study, it is likely that traits operate through analogous states (Breland & Donovan, 2005), particularly when the trait tendency is activated by a trait-relevant situation (Tett & Burnett, 2003;Tett & Guterman, 2000).…”

“…We fixed covariances between the different factors representing unique variance to zero in order to ensure that the factors were perfectly orthogonal to each other. Our method therefore used a similar approach as relative weight analysis (Breland & Donovan, 2005;Johnson, 2000), which is used to approximate the differential impact of correlated predictors in multiple regressions. In a nutshell, relative weight analysis creates a new set of uncorrelated predictors, which are maximally correlated with the corresponding original predictors.…”

“…It is a psychological state in which employees feel that they have a vested interest in the company's success and they are willing and motivated to perform to levels that exceed those in their job description. Work engagement is fundamentally a motivational concept that represents the active allocation of personal resources toward the tasks associated with a work role (30,31). Khan's definition has significant characteristics that suggests the work engagement should refer to a psychological connection with the performance of work tasks rather than an attitude toward features of the organisation or the job (1).…”

Background: Employee engagement is the emotional commitment of the employee towards the organisation. We aimed to analyse baseline work engagement using Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) at a teaching hospital. Methods: We have conducted a cross-sectional study within the National Health Service (NHS) Teaching Hospital in the UK. All participants were working age population from both genders directly employed by the hospital. UWES has three constituting dimensions of work engagement as vigor, dedication, and absorption. We conducted the study using UWES-9 tool. Outcome measures were mean score for each dimension of work engagement (vigor, dedication, absorption) and total score compared with control score from test manual. Results: We found that the score for vigor and dedication is significantly lower than comparison group (P< 0.0001 for both). The score for absorption was significantly higher than comparison group (P< 0.0001). However, total score is not significantly different. Conclusion:The study shows that work engagement level is below average within the NHS employees. Vigor and dedication are significantly lower, these are characterised by energy, mental resilience, the willingness to invest one's effort, and persistence as well as a sense of significance, enthusiasm, inspiration, pride, and challenge. The NHS employees are immersed in work. Urgent need to explore strategies to improve work engagement as it is vital for improving productivity, safety and patient experience.
