ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the
relationship between personal and organizational demands and resources
supported by the Job and Demands Resources (JD-R) model. 252 workers
participated, 71% women, mean age 34 years (SD = 12) and mean length of service
of 28 months (SD = 16). Data collection was online. Validity scales and a
sociodemographic questionnaire evaluated the variables. One question evaluated
perception of general health. Descriptive statistics and structural equations
were performed for data analysis. The results confirm model adequacy to explain
the relationships between organizational phenomena. However, these results are
not generalizable. Organizations can take action to improve employee
engagement, and by reducing self-reports of health. Interventions on resilience
and relationship conflicts would influence levels of engagement, and health
reports, bringing return to the institution and well-being and health to
workers. We point out limitations and applicability of the results.
