Strategic alignment with organizational priorities and work engagement: A multi‐wave analysis
研究了员工感知的工作任务与组织战略优先级的一致性（战略一致性）如何影响工作投入，并与工作控制和社会支持等资源进行比较，基于澳大利亚警察1011名员工的三波纵向数据发现，战略一致性能长期维持高工作投入。
Summary This study advances the limited research on work alignment and work engagement by investigating how perceived alignment of job tasks and organizational strategic priorities ( strategic alignment ) influences work engagement. Measures of job control and work social support were also included to enable comparisons between strategic alignment and other well‐established job resources. A total of 1011 employees of an Australian state police service responded to three electronic, self‐report surveys. A reciprocal model was assessed over three waves of data, with varying time lags: 18 (Time 1 to Time 2), 12 (Time 2 to Time 3), and 30 months (Time 1 to Time 3). Longitudinal, reciprocal relationships were observed for work engagement and job control, strategic alignment, and colleague support. Work engagement also predicted supervisor support over time (reverse effect). This study demonstrated that, in addition to job resources, perceived alignment of job tasks and organizational priorities plays an important role in maintaining high levels of work engagement over time.
