To explore the influence of personal and job resources on nurses’ work engagement and job performance, researchers developed a conceptual framework comprising the role of personality traits, self‐efficacy, job characteristics, supervisor and co‐worker support, participation in decision making, and job security. Their analysis suggests that work engagement mediates the relationship among personal resources (personality traits and self‐efficacy), job resources (job characteristics, supervisor and co‐worker support, participation in decision‐making and job security), and job performance. In highlighting the influence of personal and job resources on work engagement, this study can guide human resource professionals and managers in the healthcare field to focus on the factors that can most contribute to enhancing organizational performance.
