We tested whether a short, online meaning intervention boosts momentary work engagement (MWE) through an increase in perceived work meaningfulness. In Study 1 (N = 227), employees who were asked to write why their work was meaningful subsequently experienced higher work meaningfulness and higher MWE compared to a control group. Work meaningfulness mediated the relationship between the intervention and MWE. Study 2, conducted among employees (N = 254), found that writing about how one's work serves a greater good (vs. how it advances personal career, vs. control) led to an increase in work meaningfulness, which consequently predicted MWE. The research examines a new tool to enhance work meaningfulness that can be easily and widely applied and that provides insight into how sources of meaningful work are related to work meaningfulness and to important occupational outcomes.

以他人（相对于自我）为导向的意义干预通过改变工作意义来增强暂时的工作投入。

我们测试了简短的在线意义干预是否通过增加感知的工作意义来提高瞬时工作参与度 (MWE)。在研究 1 (N = 227) 中，与对照组相比，被要求写下为什么他们的工作有意义的员工随后经历了更高的工作意义和更高的 MWE。工作意义在干预和 MWE 之间起中介作用。在员工中进行的研究 2 (N = 254) 发现，写下一个人的工作如何为更大的利益服务（相对于它如何促进个人职业生涯，相对于控制）导致工作意义的增加，从而预测了 MWE。该研究探讨了一种可以轻松广泛应用的增强工作意义的新工具，并深入了解有意义工作的来源如何与工作意义和重要的职业成果相关联。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
