Exploring Work Engagement among Chinese Student Affairs Educators: A Literature Review on Supply Chain and Sustainability Management

Main Article Content

Xunheng LONG

Abstract

Employee burnout and work engagement issues are a key focus in the field of human resource management. Through the literature analysis of the job characteristics of student affairs educators (SAE), SAE groups are prone to burnout and low work commitment. Through the combing of JD-R theory, it is found that  JD-R theory still has some research space in improving the job input of SAE groups, solving work-family conflicts, and improving SAE health problems.
