Ltd Business, Management and Accounting © 2018, Emerald Publishing Limited. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of job demands, job resources and personal resources on work engagement using the job demands–resources (JD–R) model. Design/methodology/approach: The study utilized a longitudinal research design in a sample of Thai employees (n=182). The data were collected by questionnaires administered in two waves over a period of four months, and the hypotheses were tested using hierarchical regression analysis. Findings: The results supported the negative relationship between role ambiguity and work engagement. In addition, the findings suggested self-efficacy as a moderator in reducing the effect of increasing workload on work engagement. Research limitations/implications: The results of this study will be helpful for managers in designing appropriate human resources policies and practices; in recruiting, selecting and developing engaged employees; and in ensuring workplace well-being. Originality/value: This is the first notable study establishing the applicability of the antecedents of work engagement in the JD–R model in a Thai work setting. 2020-01-27T08:00:52Z 2020-01-27T08:00:52Z 2019-08-05 Article Evidence-based HRM.
