Meaningful Work Mediation: Job Resources and Employee Engagement Among Trailer Truck Drivers of Transport and Logistics Companies

Employee engagement stands as a cornerstone for success within the transport and logistics industry. In this ‎study, the researcher investigated the relationship between job resources, meaningful work, and employee ‎engagement among trailer truck drivers in transport and logistics companies in Cavite, Laguna, and Batangas. ‎This study utilized a descriptive correlational method and collected data from 138 trailer truck drivers through ‎a systematic random sampling technique. The main data gathering instrument was an adapted questionnaire. ‎Statistical tools such as frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, multiple linear regression, ‎and general mediation model analysis were employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed that the ‎respondents had a high level of employee engagement, positive perceptions of job resources, and meaningful ‎work. Job variety and autonomy were found to significantly impact employee engagement, while supervisor ‎support, development opportunities, and feedback did not. Additionally, meaningful work was examined as a ‎significant mediator between job resources and employee engagement. However, the results indicated that ‎meaningful work did not significantly mediate this relationship, suggesting its influence on the correlation ‎between these factors was not statistically supported. A Human Resource Intervention Program was proposed ‎to enhance employee engagement, tailored for trailer truck drivers‎.
