摘要:This study investigated the antecedents of work engagement, with special focus on the influence of workplace spirituality of employees who were cancer survivors. Work engagement refers to a positive, fulfilling, work-related state of mind characterizing employees who work hard and persist despite difficulties. Employees with high levels of work engagement are deeply involved in what they do and are happily absorbed in their work. This study was aimed at identifying the influence of workplace spirituality and work-place support in work engagement among employed cancer survivors. A quantitative research paradigm was adopted, with a cross-sectional design using data collected from cancer survivors registered at the Hospital Kuala Lumpur. A total of 270 participants in this study were randomly selected by inclusive criteria sampling. It was found that there is positive relationship between work engagement, workplace spirituality and workplace social support among the participants. The findings further indicated that workplace spirituality and workplace social support were important constructs which influence work engagement. This study highlights the importance of workplace spirituality in improving work engagement among cancer survivors in Malaysia.
