Resum

This paper set out to explore the multiple linkages between facets of work engagement (using combined elements of Schaufeli and Bakker, (2003) and Shirom, (2003) and dimensions of both physical health (Cardiovascular risk) and mental health (depression, anxiety and burnout). An empirical study was designed to test possible linkages between work engagement and certain personal health factors. Regression analysis was used to identify the contributing influences linking health and engagement. An online questionnaire completed by 1709 nurses working in the Catalunya region of Spain was used for the analysis. The selection of nurses as the object of study was intentional so that reliable metrics of personal health data could be obtained. Engagement was measured thought the UWES scale and health related constructs included body-mass-index, obesity via waist circumference, self-rated overall health, depression and anxiety, and a range of somatic health measures assessing digestive, cardiac, neurological, and muscular complaints. A combination of ANOVAs and multiple linear regression was employed to test the relationships and identify quasi-causal profiles.
