Faith-based organizations are a key player in major sectors of activity for maintaining the welfare state, including health, education, and social services. This paper uses a multivariate regression model in an attempt to identify the factors that affect the relationship between work engagement and flourishing. The paper also discusses the empirical research gap that has been identified in the literature about the moderated effect of human values on this relationship. This study is based on a sample of 142 nuns of a congregation belonging to a religious organization with an international scope and a Catholic inspiration. The case of religious women who have chosen to live a life consistent with the charism of the congregation constitutes a paradigmatic and unique environment to investigate the potential alignment of personal values with professional activity. This work unveils two main findings. First, the more engaged nuns are in their work (social action to serve the poorest and most disadvantaged people), the more they flourish in their working environment and in their personal lives. Second, Schwartz's values reinforce the relationship between the professional role (work engagement) and the personal role (flourishing at work). In conclusion, flourishing at work could be improved through work engagement and this relationship is moderated by human values. These results add insights to better know the relationship among life and work domains.
基于信仰的组织是维护福利国家主要活动领域的关键参与者，包括医疗、教育和社会服务。本文使用多元回归模型试图确定影响工作投入与蓬勃发展之间关系的因素。本文还讨论了文献中已发现的关于人类价值观对这种关系的调节作用的实证研究空白。本研究基于一个属于具有国际影响力和天主教灵感的宗教组织的修会的142名修女的样本。选择过一种与修会神恩相符生活的宗教女性的案例构成了一个独特的范例环境，以研究个人价值观与职业活动的潜在一致性。这项工作揭示了两个主要发现。首先，修女在工作（为最贫穷和最弱势人群服务的社会行动）中的投入越多，她们在工作环境和个人生活中就越蓬勃发展。其次，施瓦茨的价值观强化了职业角色（工作投入）和个人角色（在工作中蓬勃发展）之间的关系。总之，通过工作投入可以改善工作中的蓬勃发展，并且这种关系受到人类价值观的调节。这些结果为更好地了解生活和工作领域之间的关系提供了见解。
