title = "Fluctuating levels of personal role engagement within the working day: a multilevel study",
abstract = "In this diary study, we examined a theoretical model in which the psychological conditions of meaningfulness, availability, and safety serve as mechanisms through which the work context during discrete situations within the workday influences {\textquoteleft}state{\textquoteright} engagement. We further theorised that a person{\textquoteright}s {\textquoteleft}trait{\textquoteright} level of engagement would exert cross-level effects on the {\textquoteleft}state{\textquoteright} level relationships. Multilevel analyses based on a sample of 124 individuals in six organisations and 1,446 situational observations revealed that meaningfulness and availability (but not safety) mediated the relationships between perceptions of the work context and {\textquoteleft}state{\textquoteright} engagement. High levels of {\textquoteleft}trait{\textquoteright} engagement strengthened the within-person relation between availability and {\textquoteleft}state{\textquoteright} engagement, yet weakened the within-person relation between meaningfulness and {\textquoteleft}state{\textquoteright} engagement; suggesting two different processes may be at play. Overall, the findings advance our understanding of engagement as a multilevel and temporally dynamic psychological phenomenon, and promote a contextually-based HRM approach to facilitating engagement.",
