摘要：AbstractIt is assumed that promoting engagement in training may shape the effects of organizational resources over performance, well-being and quality of life in general, thus benefitting not only the individuals, but organizations as well. The present study aims to analyze the differences in engagement regarding personal and context factors of trainees attending the Training Courses for Petty Officers 1st Class (CFS). The study methodology made use of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (Schaufeli, Salanova, González-Romá & Bakker, 2002), the Assessment Scale for Trainee Engagement in the Portuguese Navy (Frade & Veiga, 2014), as well as the Assessment Scale for Trainee Self-concept in the Portuguese Navy (Frade & Veiga, in press). The sample was comprised of 149 trainees from the CFS of the Portuguese Navy. The result analysis allowed the finding of relationships between trainee engagement and context and personal variables. There was an intention of getting directions to support the action of the Portuguese Navy in creating a compromise between the individual and the organization by promoting motivation, as well as by engaging its human resources in learning situations and work realization.
