Abstract
Working from self-determination theory, this study explored the impact of selforiented perfectionism and socially prescribed perfectionism on work engagement, highlighting the roles of work meaningfulness and work stress as mediators in this relationship. Data from 278 employees working
in Chinese companies showed that self-oriented perfectionism had a positive direct effect on work engagement, and a positive indirect effect on work engagement via work meaningfulness. Meanwhile, socially prescribed perfectionism had a negative direct effect on work engagement, and a negative
indirect effect on work engagement via work stress. This study reveals the important role of motivation in the relationship between perfectionism and work engagement, and provides new ideas for improving employee work engagement.
