Work Stress, Engagement, Public Institution, Job SatisfactionAbstract
This study examined how participation mediates job stress and job satisfaction among staff in Peruvian public institutions. The study employed a quantitative, non-experimental, and cross-sectional design. A survey using a five-level Likert-type scale was administered to 144 employees of the National Superintendency of Public Registries (SUNARP). The survey's consistency, reliability, and presentation were evaluated using PLS-SEM (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling). Structural equation testing demonstrated that engagement mediates the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction. The study found that stress and engagement are significantly negatively related, with a path coefficient of -0.726. Work engagement and job satisfaction are positively related, with a path coefficient of 0.762. Additionally, job stress and job satisfaction are negatively related, with a path coefficient of -0.103.
