    (2023) Tusubira, Isaac
    The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between meaningful work, grit and Job engagement. The research used a cross sectional quantitative survey design. The sample size was 361 health care workers selected by simple random sampling. Only 250 responses were got. Findings showed that there is a significant and positive relationship between grit and job engagement. The results also indicated that there was a positive and significant relationship between meaningful work and job engagement. The results also indicated that there was a positive and significant relationship between grit and meaningful work. The study indicated that the two independent variables contribute 63.2 percent of the variance in job engagement (Adjusted R Square = .632). Results also indicated that both meaningful work and grit are predictors of job engagement although results indicated that meaningful work is a better predictor than grit. From the study, it was recommended that to achieve a better job engagement, health care workers should make their work meaningful and have passion and perseverance for long-term and meaningful goals for their work. They should be able to persist in their work they feel passionate about.
