Sažetak
This paper examines the relationship between work engagement, employees’ individual values, and job satisfaction. Specifically, it explores if job satisfaction and individual values can be considered as predictors of employees’ engagement at work. The empirical research was carried out in 2023, involving a sample of 277 Croatian employees. The research hypotheses were tested using hierarchical regression analysis. Statistical analysis revealed that job satisfaction is the most significant predictor of work engagement. The findings suggested that individual values influence employee work engagement, but not all values contribute equally. Among the ten observed individual values, universalism, power, benevolence, and achievement were confirmed as statistically significant predictors of work engagement. Research results suggested that management should prioritize job satisfaction to improve employee engagement. In their attempts to enhance work engagement, management should also pay attention to employees’ individual values since some have been confirmed as the determinant of work engagement.
