PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between inclusive leadership and employee work engagement by identifying person-job fit as a mediator, and employee felt responsibility as a moderator.Design/methodology/approachEmploying a two-wave survey from 261 employees across various industries in China, the study tests hypotheses using hierarchical regression analysis with the PROCESS procedure developed by Hayes.FindingsThe results show that inclusive leadership is positively related to employee work engagement through person-job fit. The results further demonstrate that employees’ felt responsibility moderates the positive direct relationship between inclusive leadership and person-job fit as well as the indirect relationship between inclusive leadership and work engagement via person-job fit.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough two-wave data were used to test the model, issues of common method bias cannot be excluded because the data were collected from a single source (the employee).Practical implicationsOrganizations should promote and develop inclusive leaders in the workplace to enhance employee work engagement, and pay attention to employees' felt responsibility for their work to ensure effectiveness of inclusive leadership.Originality/valueIntegrating social information processing theory and person-environment fit theory, this study enriches the theoretical foundation of inclusive leadership scholarship. This study deepens the understanding of the mechanism underlying the link between inclusive leadership and work engagement, as well as an important boundary condition of this relationship, by examining the mediating role of person-job fit and the moderating role of felt responsibility.

Karyawan merupakan faktor terpenting dalam menentukan bagaiamana perusahaan bisa bekembang atau tidak. Salah satu ciri sumber daya manusia yang memiliki kualitas baik adalah engaged. Engagement pada karyawan sangatlah penting dalam mendukung perusahaan untuk mencapai sesuatu yang sudah direncanakan. Mangkuprawira dan Hubeis (2007) menjawab akan variabel yang dibutuhkan karyawan untuk mencapai engaged pada perusahaan. Menurut Mangkuprawira dan Hubeis  dalam mencapai employee work engagement, seorang karyawan haruslah memiliki penilaian diri yang baik dan memahami kemampuan yang ia miliki dimana variabel tersebut dinamakan self efficacy. Oleh karena itu, peneliti ingin mengetahu korelasi antara kedua variabel tersebut yakni hubungan antara self efficacy dan employee work engagement. Dalam penelitian ini, digunakanlah subyek yang berasal dari Rumah Sakit St. Vincentius a Paulo dan diambil sampel sebanyak 95 responden. Skala likert digunakan dalam penelitian ini untuk mendapatkan data penelitian. Untuk mengetahui hubungan tersebut, digunakanlah uji korelasi menggunakan product moment pada program SPSS. Dari hasil pengujian ditemukan bahwa skor peason correlation (r) 0,666 dan signifikansi (p) memiliki skor 0,00 berada dibawah kaidah signifikasi 0,05. Hasil tersebut dapat disimpulkan adanya hunguan antara self efficacy dan employee work engagement.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the moderating role of employee age in the relationship between work engagement and several job resources.Design/methodology/approachThe study used questionnaire-based surveys completed by 804 employees from firms located in West China. The data were then analyzed by conducting latent moderated structural equation modeling.FindingsThe results of the study show that certain job resources (autonomy, recognition, colleague support, participation, job security and flexible work arrangements) are more effective for older employees in promoting work engagement, while other resources (job feedback, opportunities for development, skill variety and internal promotion) are more tailored toward younger employees.Research limitations/implicationsThe results suggest that job resources are not equally effective in affecting employee work engagement. Therefore, future studies should adopt a dynamic lifespan perspective when studying the relationship between job resources and work engagement.Practical implicationsThe current study indicates that to increase younger employees’ work engagement, organizations need to rely more on development-oriented job resources, and to increase older employees’ work engagement, they need to focus more on maintenance-oriented resources.Originality/valueThe literature on work engagement has assumed that the strength of the relationship between job resources and work engagement is uniform among employees at all ages. This study refers to two life-span theories from the development psychology literature to explain that there are age-related differences in the effect of job resources on employee work engagement.

Purpose Around 87 percent of employees are not engaged in their work and 82 percent have withdrawal intentions across the globe. Considering these emerging challenges the purpose of this paper is to investigate the associations between inter-role conflicts, work engagement and turnover intention considering person-job-fit (PJF) as a moderator. Design/methodology/approach The data from 343 Punjab police employees were collected on a convenience basis through a questionnaire-based survey. The study used the second generation data analysis technique (i.e. structural equation modeling) in two stages. Findings The results found work engagement as a mediator between inter-role conflicts and turnover intention. In addition, PJF was found to moderate these relations. Research limitations/implications This study collected data from a single province of the county. The study has implications for the academicians and policymakers. Originality/value Considering the emerging challenges to policing, this study is first of its kind to examine the moderating role of PJF. This theoretical model is developed on the basis of conservation of resource theory and field theory.

The study assessed how organizational culture affects employee work engagement in the insurance industries in Ghana. A cross sectional survey design was used to purposively sample one hundred and sixty-one (161) employees from two leading insurance companies ambidextrously. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Independent t-test were the statistical tools used to test the three hypotheses of the study. The results of the study revealed that, there is a positive significant relationship between organizational culture and employee work engagement. Again it was established that managers are more likely to be engaged on their job than non-managers and gender has no significant influence on engagement levels. The study therefore concluded that, to increase employee work engagement, organizations must adopt a favorable culture. Therefore we recommend that organizations should maintain and sustain favorable culture in order to increase the level of employees work engagement.
