A survey questionnaire was administered to employees in bank regions across different departments, with 205 respondents comprising 164 men, 80%, and 41 women, or 20%. Statistical techniques with a partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM 3.3.3) will be used to analyze the relationships and test the mediation effect of Meaningful Work on the relationships between Person Job Fit and Work Engagement. The study's findings demonstrated that Job Person Fit, which is the suitability of self-value with each job given, employees understanding the goals to be achieved in their work, and demand-abilities fit, including knowledge, skills, and personalities, were responsible for specific variations in work-related outcomes. Work engagement can be directly impacted by Job-person fit and indirectly by Meaningful work. Understanding these linkages may help employers design jobs and responsibilities that better fit their workforce's skills, preferences, and values, eventually resulting in a happier and more engaged workforce. Key Words:work Engagement, meaningful work, Job Person, Employees, Work Performance
