The change in company management’s paradigm to a greater concern for its human
capital has allowed the raising of new ways for facing organisational success. Based
on that assumption, the present study intends to analyse the relations between
work engagement and job resources and their implications in workers’ performance.
For that, we reckoned on the participation of 101 workers from a multinational
retail company in the field of household equipment that had taken the surveys
and annexed to them the results from their formal performance appraisals. The
obtained results represent a reinforcement to the importance of job resources
in the emergence of engagement at the workplace and make us ponder on the
appropriateness of formal performance appraisal systems. The implications of this
study are then discussed in light of its relevance to human resources management.
