FARINA, Larissa Sanford Ayres et al. Flow and Engagement at Work: Associations with Personal Resources and Work Environment. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.18, n.4, pp.362-371. ISSN 1677-0471.  https://doi.org/10.15689/ap.2019.1804.18813.04.

The experience of flow and engagement has been related to personal and work attributes, generating superior results related to business success, employee performance and life satisfaction. This study aimed to investigate flow and engagement at work and their associations with personal and work characteristics. The sample consisted of 317 participants (66.9% female) with a mean age of 39.72 years (SD = 10.8), who responded to a socio-demographic questionnaire and scales that allowed the target variables to be measured. A network analysis was performed to interpret the data. The data showed that some individual and work resources are strongly correlated with work flow and engagement. The results indicate the importance of promoting a work environment that stimulates skills alignment, communication and the reduction of negative affect to enhance the flow and engagement experiences in this context.
