Abstract/Summary

This study investigates on the experience of psychological meaningfulness and work engagement of Filipino millennials in the workplace. Specifically, to what extent do millennials experience both psychological meaningfulness and work engagement and the relationship of both psychological meaningfulness is measured by three indicators namely recognition, challenge, and perceived meaningfulness of contribution (Brown and Leigh), 1996). While, work engagement is also measured by three indicators namely, vigor, absorption, and dedication (Salanova et al, 2002). With regards to our participants, the millennials are divided into 2 groups, older millennials who were born in 1981-1989 and younger millennials who were born in 1990-1997 (Pew Research Center, 2015). In this study, the researchers found out millennials, especially the older millennials, crave psychological meaningfulness in the workplace which will result to work engagement having the contribution as the strongest predictor in work engagement. These findings can be beneficial to a lot especially to human resources practitioners, employers, developmental psychology, etc.
