摘要： The aim of this research was to investigate possible antecedents and outcomes of students' engagement. Students' engagement is a positive condition characterized by vigor, dedication and absorption in work and it was measured by the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students (UWES-S). Our study had two research problems. Within the first problem, we relied to the Job Demands-Resources Model to examine the possible determinants of students' engagement: core self-evaluations and the person-environment fit (congruence as measured with the Iachan M index). Within the second research problem we examined the role of students' engagement in explaining academic achievement. Participants were students enrolled in six different study programs at the University of Zagreb (N = 380). The results have shown that congruence and core self-evaluations explained students' engagement. Core self-evaluations were shown to be related to all aspects of students' engagement, while congruence contributed over and above core self-evaluations to dedication and total students' engagement. Academic achievement was determined by gender, age, core self-evaluations and students' engagement, but not by congruence. Students' engagement explained an additional variance of academic achievement s over gender, age, and core self-evaluations.
