Dancing as predictor of employees’ work engagement
| Resumo: | This paper studies the impact of time spent in dancing on next day work engagement through increased morning vigor, sense of mastery, happiness and daily recovery mechanisms (mediators). A field study conducted with 34 respondents answering 3 daily questionnaires during 10 consecutive working days led to a two-level days-within-individuals model. Though positive, the direct relationship between time in dancing and work engagement reported statistically non-significant. However, a mediation analysis resulted in statistically significant and positively-related mediation paths between the aforementioned variables, suggesting that dancing has a positive impact in vigor through recovery and in work engagement through vigor as hypothesised. |
