Low work engagement yields a decrease in productivity, high turnover, loss of revenue, and, most importantly, patient safety concerns.

Four work-related and five nurse-related variables were evaluated and used in the work engagement model. A standard multiple regression was performed using the work- and nurse-related factors regressed onto work engagement. Structural equation model procedures were performed to examine the association between predictive variables and work engagement.
