20.500.12556/RUL-185014 Different levels, same relations? a meta-analysis on the homology of the nomological network of (daily) work engagement Work engagement has garnered significant attention from researchers and practitioners in recent decades, and several meta-analyses have examined its stable, between-person correlates. However, work engagement also has a dynamic component, meaning that it varies daily, across situations, and within individuals. Despite growing interest, the strength and direction of many associations within the nomological network of daily work engagement, as well as their consistency with the relations observed for stable manifestations of work engagement, remain unclear. In the present study, we meta-analyze within-person correlations of work engagement from daily diary studies (k = 230) and compare them to (a) meta-analytic between-person correlations based on aggregated daily scores and (b) true between-person correlations from earlier meta-analyses. Our findings reveal important similarities and differences in the nomological networks of daily and stable work engagement but generally demonstrate that predictions derived from major theories are invariant across levels of analyses. Yet, differences exist in the strength of relations, which could not be attributed to differences in reliabilities across levels or to aggregation bias, suggesting that theories should be refined to account for level-specific differences. We conclude by providing specific recommendations for the development and refinement of multilevel theories explaining work engagement. work organization corporate culture knowledge transfer between-person variations experience-sampling studies homology within-person variations work engagement delovna organizacija vodenje kultura podjetja prenos znanja true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-07-20 14:15:03 2026-07-20 14:47:20 2026-07-21 04:02:46 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 [in press] 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova VTisku NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 331.108 0894-3796 10.1002/job.70096 281772291 J_Organ_Behavior_-_2026_-_Pletzer_-_Different_Levels__Same_Relations__A_Meta‐Analysis_on_the_Homology_of_the_Nomological_(1).pdf J_Organ_Behavior_-_2026_-_Pletzer_-_Different_Levels__Same_Relations__A_Meta‐Analysis_on_the_Homology_of_the_Nomological_(1).pdf 1 CF2D07A6E641C3142A6E1AD2A5AADAFB 6533f5816726132cb881de89345295c14803c25258facd1703ea2c59665ec9fe dbf1cc90-8438-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=240509 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/job.70096 0 e06cbf92-8438-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=240510 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
