Abstract
We explored the effect of occupational stigma on work engagement, basing our research on conservation of resources theory. Frontline hotel employees (N = 286) in China completed an online survey. Analysis of the results showed that occupational stigma was negatively related to
work engagement, and occupational identity and emotional exhaustion both played mediating roles in this relationship. These findings enrich the research on the antecedents of work engagement and provide practical implications for related management practice.
