Abstract

This empirical study examined the effect of perceived supervisor support (PSS) and social support (SS) on the employees work engagement (WE) in the energy sector of Thailand with a particular focus on mediating effect of career optimism (CO). The data was collected from 253 respondents working in the energy sector of Thailand. The results revealed that PSS has a positive and significant effect on WE (β = 0.109, p < 0.01), SS has a positive and significant effect on WE (β = 0.158, p < 0.01) and CO has a positive and significant effect on WE (β = 0.536, p < 0.01). As to the mediating effect of CO, the results indicated that CO is a significant mediator of the effect of PSS (β = 0.081, p < 0.01) and SS (β = 0.057, p < 0.01) on WE.
