The present study explored the factor structure of engagement and its relationship with job satisfaction. The authors hypothesize that work engagement comprises 3 constructs: vigor, dedication, and absorption. Using structural equation modeling, the authors analyze data from 3 archival data sets to determine the factor structure of engagement. In addition, they examine the hypothesis that engagement and job satisfaction are separate but related constructs, using structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression. The authors test models in which engagement and job satisfaction items loaded onto a single latent variable and 1 in which they loaded onto 2 separate variables. Results from the confirmatory factor analysis indicate engagement has 3 factors. In addition, confirmatory factor analysis and hierarchical regressions indicate engagement and job satisfaction are separate constructs. Last, hierarchical regressions demonstrated the constructs have different relationships with the areas of work-life scale. Implications for theory and research are discussed.
本研究探讨了投入的因素结构及其与工作满意度的关系。作者假设工作投入由 3 个构念组成：活力、奉献和专注。作者使用结构方程模型，从 3 个档案数据集分析数据，以确定投入的因素结构。此外，他们使用结构方程模型和分层回归来检验投入和工作满意度是独立但相关的构念的假设。作者测试了投入和工作满意度项目加载到单个潜在变量的模型和加载到 2 个单独变量的模型。验证性因素分析的结果表明，投入有 3 个因素。此外，验证性因素分析和层次回归表明，投入和工作满意度是独立的构念。最后，层次回归表明这些构念与工作生活量表的不同领域有不同的关系。讨论了对理论和研究的启示。
