Abstract

This study aims to examine the partial and simultaneous effects of job demands and job resources on work engagement among employees in a rice milling factory in Sidenreng Rappang, Indonesia, and to test the hypotheses that job resources significantly influence work engagement while job demands do not exhibit a significant effect when analyzed individually, yet contribute significantly when combined. Employing a quantitative, associative design, data were collected through questionnaires and observations from all 52 employees at CV. Ibengnga Abadi. Multiple linear regression analysis, along with t-tests and F-tests using SPSS 26, was applied to assess the relationships among the variables. The results indicate that while job demands alone do not significantly impact work engagement, job resources demonstrate a significant positive effect, and simultaneous testing confirms that the combined influence of these variables significantly enhances work engagement. These findings underscore the critical role of supportive job resources in fostering employee engagement, suggesting that organizations should prioritize enhancing job resources to mitigate the negative effects of high job demands. Future research is recommended to explore additional factors influencing work engagement to further inform effective human resource practices.
