Engagement merupakan ekspresi yang dikehendaki seseorang berkaitan dengan perilaku tugasnya, yang menghubungkan pekerjaannya dengan eksistensi personal (fisik, kognitif, dan emosional) dan peran diri secara utuh. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian sebelumnya, employee engagement mampu dimediasi oleh psychological meaningfulness yang dipengaruhi oleh job enrichment. Karyawan yang mengalami job enrichment memiliki kebermaknaan diri yang baik sehingga mempengaruhi tingkat engagementnya pula. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh job enrichment terhadap employee engagement melalui psychological meaningfulness sebagai mediator. Desain penelitian yang digunakan ialah cross-sectional study pada 112 karyawan di PT. KIEC. Model analisis data yang digunakan ialah analisis regresi multiple linear. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa job enrichment mampu mempengaruhi employee engagement secara signifikan melalui psychological meaningfulness sebagai mediator. Nilai p ialah 0,000 dengan taraf signifikansi 0,05. Nilai sig F change menunjukkan nilai < 0,05, yaitu 0,006 sehingga efek mediasi tergolong signifikan. Selain itu, efek mediasi berpengaruh lebih baik daripada efek langsung. Ada peningkatan besarnya pengaruh, yaitu 27,2% tanpa mediator menjadi 31,5% dengan mediator.
