Abstract
The objective of this research is to investigate the impact of emotional capital on work engagement. To this end, the data collected from 122 employees of a governmental organization with 150 employees working in the General Personnel Council in the Gaza Strip were evaluated. In order to reach the targeted results in the research, central tendency measures and descriptive statistics were first used, and then correlation and regression analyses and manova test were conducted. According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that emotional capital has a statistically significant effect on work engagement. In addition, the effect of emotional capital on the dimensions of work engagement was analyzed. Accordingly, it was found that emotional capital has a statistically significant effect on addiction, one of the dimensions of work engagement.
