“…This is consistent with arguments that vigour and dedication can be considered the core constructs of work engagement Schaufeli et al, 2002). Therefore, various studies excluded absorption as a construct of work engagement (González-Romá, Schaufeli, Bakker & Lloret, 2006;Montgomery, Peeters, Schaufeli & Den Ouden, 2003). Based on findings in early work engagement research in South Africa, a two factor structure consisting of vigour and dedication was hypothesised and confirmed in various studies (Coetzer & Rothmann, 2007;Jackson, Rothmann & Van der Vijver, 2006;Rothmann & Jorgensen, 2007;Rothmann & Pieterse, 2007).…”

Orientation: Work engagement, burnout and stress-related ill health levels of individuals, suffering from depression, who are unsure whether or not they suffer from depression, or who do not suffer from depression, have not been investigated in South Africa.Research purpose: The main objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalence of depression amongst employees in South African organisations and the relationship of depression with specific well-being constructs.Motivation for the study: Organisations should know about the prevalence of depression and the effects this could have on specific well-being constructs.Research design, approach and method: A cross-sectional design was followed. The availability sample (n = 15 664) included participants from diverse demographics. The South African Employee Health and Wellness Survey was followed to measure constructs.Main findings: The results showed that 18.3% of the population currently receive treatment for depression, 16.7% are unsure whether or not they suffer from depression and 65% do not suffer from depression. Depression significantly affects the levels of work engagement, burnout and the occurrence of stress-related ill health symptoms.Practical/managerial implications: This study makes organisations aware of the relationship between depression and employee work-related well-being. Proactive measures to promote the work-related well-being of employees, and to support employees suffering from depression, should be considered.Contribution/value-add: This study provides insight into the prevalence of depression and well-being differences that exist between individuals, suffering from depression, who are unsure whether or not they suffer from depression, and who do not suffer from depression.

“…In fact, dimensions of vigor and dedication of UWES are the opposite pole dimensions of exhaustion and cynicism of the burnout, respectively, vigor and exhaustion have been called "energy", while the continuum formed by dedication and cynicism has been labeled "identification" and also these constructs of work engagement and burnout have identified two bipolar dimensions (Gonzalez-Roma, Schaufeli, Bakker and Lloret, 2006). In this research, it is considered that the results yielded as to vigor and dedication sub-scales, as is the case with exhaustion and cynicism sub-scales, are not meaningful predictors of life satisfaction, can form the evidence of the presence of the suggested two bipolar dimensional (Gonzalez-Roma et al, 2006).…”

The purpose of this research is to determine the relations between high school students' life satisfaction, burnout, work engagement and hopelessness scores and examine the contribution of their burnout, work engagement and hopelessness scores in the prediction of their life satisfaction scores. The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-Student Survey (UWES-SS), Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) and "Personal Information Form", has been applied on a total of 461 students, 225 (%48.8) of them being girl students and 236 (%51.2) of them being male students, who were continuing the 12th grade in varying high school classes during the 2011-2012 school year within the provincial boundaries of the Mersin Municipality and had voluntarily accepted to participate in the research. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis have been used in the analysis of the data. It is observed as a result of the analyses that high school students' life satisfaction scores have a negative relation with exhaustion, cynicism, efficacy and hopelessness scores; on the other hand, these have a positive relation with vigor, dedication and absorption scores. Also it has been observed that life satisfaction scores only predict hopelessness, absorption and efficacy in a meaningful way.

“…This was assessed with the vigour scale of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003). Vigour is considered the opposite of exhaustion (Gonza´lez-Roma´et al, 2006). It refers to feeling well and having the energy to work hard and to work long hours.…”

“…In particular, we maintain that two qualitatively different subcategories may be grouped under the heading of job demands (e.g., Podsakoff et al, 2007); namely, health-impairing job demands that hinder optimal functioning (i.e., job hindrances) and job demands that require some energy, but are nonetheless stimulating (i.e., job challenges). These two different types of job demands are assumed to yield different relationships with exhaustion and vigour, which represent the core components of burnout and engagement, respectively (Gonza´lez-Roma´, Schaufeli, Bakker, & Lloret, 2006;Maslach, Schaufeli, & Leiter, 2001) and may be considered as complementary aspects of employees' wellbeing. Before elaborating upon the conceptual differentiation between job hindrances and job challenges, we first summarize the basic concepts and principles of the JD-R model.…”
