RESUMO
Informed by social information processing (SIP) theory, in this study, we assessed the associations among family supportive supervisor behaviors (FSSBs) as perceived by subordinates, subordinate work engagement, and supervisor-rated work performance. Moreover, we explored the role of family supportive organizational culture as a contextual variable influencing our proposed associations. Our findings using matched supervisor-subordinate data collected from a financial credit company in Mexico (654 subordinates; 134 supervisors) showed that FSSBs influenced work performance through subordinate work engagement. Moreover, the positive association between subordinates' perceptions of FSSBs and work engagement was moderated by family supportive organizational culture. Our results contribute to emerging theories on flexible work arrangements, particularly on family supportive work policies. Moreover, our findings carry practical implications for improving employee work engagement and work performance. (PsycINFO Database Record

El presente trabajo apunta a descubrir qué pueden hacer los empleados para estar más engaged con su trabajo. Después de definir qué se entiende por un engagement perdurable, hacemos una revisión de la bibliografía existente sobre el engagement entendido como un estado mental del individuo. Además, analizamos las diferentes investigaciones que se han dedicado a estudiar la relación que hay entre engagement, por un lado, y (a) desempeño laboral, (b) conducta proactiva y (c) personalización del trabajo, por el otro. Finalmente, revisamos la evidencia que sustenta las relaciones recíprocas entre el engagement, los recursos personales y laborales. Concluimos que los empleados engaged se encargan de mantener su propio compromiso en el trabajo, modificando proactivamente su ambiente laboral. Como resultado, los empleados engaged no sólo hacen un uso total de los recursos laborales disponibles, sino que también son capaces de crear sus propios recursos para mantenerse comprometidos.
The present literature review focuses on what employees can do to stay engaged. After defining enduring work engagement, we review the literature on state work engagement. In addition, we discuss research on the relationship between engagement on the one hand, and (a) job performance, (b) proactive behavior, and (c) job crafting on the other. Finally, we review the evidence for reciprocal relationships between work engagement and job and personal resources. We conclude that engaged employees take care of their own work engagement by proactively shaping their work environment. As a result, engaged employees do not only make full use of the available job resources, but they also create their own resources to stay engaged.
