The role of human capital on industry world attracts bigger attention. Influenced by the trend of positive psychology, study on work engagement has excalated in quantity. Employees with high engagement to his/her work, have positive role to achieve organization outcomes, such as high performance and commitment and also low absent and turnover. Resources are factors that contribute on creating and developing work engagement. Personal resource (core self-evaluations) is assumed to mediate relationship between job resources (job characteristics) and work engagement (WE). Job characteristics (JC) consist of five core job dimensions (skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback). Core self-evaluations (CSE) consist of four core traits (self-esteem, generalized self-efficacy, locus of control, and emotional stability), which is responsible to form individual�s self-appraisal. The research desain was survey and involved 100 employees of a banking company in Yogyakarta. Three questionnaires were used to collect data. Sequential regressions test with SPSS 18 program was used to analyze the data. First, there were significant and positive correlation between JC and CSE (R = 0.393, p < 0.01). Second, JC was significantly correlated with WE (R=0.419, p<0.01). Third, CSE had significant correlation with WE (R=0.499, p<0.01), while JC showed non significant relation with WE (R=0.106, p>0.01). Based on mediation testing, the result proved the research�s hypothesis, that core self-evaluations mediate the relationship between job characteristics and work engagement.
