Abstract

The sense of work gain, as a comprehensive feeling or evaluation of employees' actual remuneration and value realization in their work, is closely related to employees' work engagement. However, there are few relevant studies on its impact on work engagement. Based on positive psychology and social exchange theory, this study introduces work well-being as an intermediary variable to systematically explore how the sense of work gain affects employees' work engagement. Taking the employees of the enterprise as the research object, the required data are collected by questionnaire survey, and 249 valid questionnaires are collected. SPSS25.0 and AMOS24.0 software are used to verify the relationship between these three variables through descriptive statistical analysis, reliability and validity analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The following conclusions are drawn: (1) The sense of work gain has a significant positive predictive effect on work engagement; (2) The sense of work gain has a significant positive predictive effect on work well-being; (3) Work well-being has a significant positive predictive effect on work engagement; (4) Work well-being plays a mediating role between the sense of work gain and work engagement. Based on the results of this research and the actual situation, some management suggestions are put forward for enterprise managers. One is to "put people first" to improve employees' sense of work gain; The second is to pay attention to employees' work experience and improve their work well-being; The third is to create a good organizational atmosphere and establish a mutually beneficial partnership with employees.
