This study aimed to examine the effect of perceived gratitude from others on work engagement, adjusting for possible confounders: job demands, job resources (supervisor/coworker support), personal resources (resilience), and gratitude trait.
This cross-sectional study conducted a secondary analysis of data from previously published research. Work engagement was measured using the Japanese version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. An original one-item questionnaire measured perceived gratitude from others. A hierarchical linear regression analysis was conducted.
Hierarchical linear regression showed a significant association between perceived gratitude and work engagement even after controlling for the covariates of occupations, job demands, supervisor support, coworker support, resilience, and gratitude trait (N = 206).
The association between perceived gratitude and work engagement was independent of job demands, job/personal resources, and gratitude trait, suggesting the direct association.
本研究旨在检验他人感知到的感激之情对工作投入的影响，同时调整可能的混杂因素：工作需求、工作资源（主管/同事支持）、个人资源（适应力）和感激特质。
本横断面研究对先前发表研究的数据进行了二次分析。工作投入使用日本版 Utrecht 工作投入量表进行测量。一份原创的单项目问卷用于测量他人感知到的感激之情。进行了层次线性回归分析。
即使在控制了职业、工作需求、主管支持、同事支持、适应力和感激特质等协变量后，感知感激与工作投入之间仍存在显著关联（N=206）。
感知感激与工作投入之间的关联独立于工作需求、工作/个人资源和感激特质，表明存在直接关联。
