Nowadays religious organizations play a leading role in the third sector, contributing to maintaining the welfare state in a large number of countries in sectors such as health, education or social services, among others. These organizations provide a service to their users, aiming to transmit the predominant values in their mission statement and simultaneously promote both authenticity and work engagement in their employees. Indeed, the purpose of this article is to evaluate the link between human values and work engagement, as well as the mediating role of authenticity in this relationship. To this end, 938 workers of a Catholic religious organization, which constitutes a relatively unexplored context, is employed. To test the research model and hypotheses, this investigation uses PLS (Partial Least Squares). It covers two notable research gaps. First, the results confirm the direct links between human values, authenticity and work engagement within the context of religious organizations. Second, they provide evidence of the mediating role exercised by authenticity in the relationship between human values and work engagement.
如今，宗教组织在第三部门发挥着主导作用，在许多国家的卫生、教育或社会服务等领域为维持福利国家做出贡献。这些组织为其用户提供服务，旨在传播其使命声明中的主流价值观，同时促进员工的真实性和工作投入。事实上，本文的目的是评估人类价值观与工作投入之间的联系，以及真实性在这种关系中的中介作用。为此，我们选取了一个天主教宗教组织的938名员工，该组织是一个相对未被探索的背景。为了检验研究模型和假设，本研究使用偏最小二乘法（PLS）。它填补了两个显著的研究空白。首先，研究结果证实了宗教组织背景下人类价值观、真实性和工作投入之间的直接联系。其次，它们提供了证据，证明真实性在人类价值观与工作投入之间的关系中发挥了中介作用。
