Abstract
This study investigates the mediating role of work engagement (i.e, vigor and dedication) among job resources (i.e., job control, feedback and variety) and proactive behavior at work. This mediating role was investigated, using Structural Equation Modeling in two independent samples from Spain (n= 386 technology employees) and The Netherlands (n= 338 telecom managers). Results in both samples confirmed that work engagement fully mediates the impact of job resources on proactive behavior. Subsequent multi-group analyses revealed that the strengths of the structural paths of the mediation model were invariant across both national samples, underscoring the cross-national validity of the model

Based on data collected from 405 workers using information technology in their jobs, the expected Job Demand Control Interaction effect was found in both burnout dimensions as predicted by the JD-C model and the more specific level of self-efficacy moderated the relationship between job demands and control and levels of burn out dimensions as expected.
