Work engagement has received a great body of research in recent years. Consequently, identifying the antecedents and outcomes of this phenomenon is regarded as important research topics. This paper investigates the association of work engagement and proficiency. Methodology: Proficiency has been studied as an antecedent of work engagement in this article. The suggested relation was examined in a sample of 395 employees in four public organizations in Iran. Results: The finding indicates that there is a positive and significant relationship between work engagement and proficiency. Conclusion: Moreover, only one of the subscales of proficiency (organization member proficiency) could predict the variance of work engagement.
