The Effect of Employee Engagement (Vigor, Dedication, and Absorption) on Job Satisfaction at PT Pelindo 1

Abstract : This study examines the effect of employee engagement variables—vigor, dedication, and absorption—on job satisfaction. The research subjects consisted of all employees of PT Pelindo 1 in 2020. A total of 225 employees were selected as the sample using a simple random sampling method. Primary data were collected through a questionnaire instrument. To test the research hypotheses, data were analyzed using a multiple linear regression model. The results indicate that employee engagement and vigor have a significant but weak positive effect on job satisfaction. In contrast, dedication and absorption show a positive but statistically insignificant effect. The coefficient of determination (R²) is 14%, suggesting that vigor, dedication, and absorption are weak predictors of job satisfaction.
