“…Kahn’s initial conceptualization of engagement treats health as constant, and contextual health, or a very narrow spectrum of health, as variable (e.g., health is based on demands of work; Bakker & Demerouti, 2007; health based on positive self-evaluations; Bakker et al, 2014). Importantly, studies on engagement often position health as an outcome of engagement, rather than a predictor or part of a recursive model of engagement and wellness (Christian et al, 2011; Schaufeli, Bakker, & Van Rhenen, 2009; Sliter et al, 2016), a phenomenon not limited solely to engagement (Sliter et al, 2016). These shortcomings become a salient concern for engagement researchers when considering chronic health deficiencies of which workers have no daily direct control, such as depression, anxiety, or posttraumatic stress disorder (Compton, Conway, Stinson, & Grant, 2006).…”
