Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate associations between personal values and work engagement among workers. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used data from the Japanese Study on Stratification, Health, Income, and Neighborhood (J-SHINE) in 2010 and 2017. Personal values were measured by 11 value priorities and by commitment to these values. Multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to determine the associations between personal values and work engagement. RESULTS: A total of 1946 workers were analyzed. Four personal values (eg, "Improving society") and commitment to values were significantly positively associated with work engagement, while "Graduating from a famous school" was significantly negatively associated. CONCLUSIONS: Some personal values relate to openness to change, self-transcendence, and self-enhancement, and commitment to values showed associations with work engagement. It could be beneficial to consider personal values to enhance work engagement.
