dc.description.abstract	The purpose of this study was to determine which of the following variables best predict work engagement among elementary music educators: (a) support, (b) self-efficacy, (c) workload satisfaction, (d) salary, and (e) resources. Elementary music educators (N = 334) employed in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Iowa participated in the study. Correlations beyond the .01 level of significance were found between: (a) salary and resources, (b) support and resources, (c) support and workload satisfaction, (d) resources and workload satisfaction, (e) self-efficacy and work engagement, (f) support and work engagement, (g) workload satisfaction and work engagement. Correlations beyond the .05 level of significance were found between: (a) salary and support, (b) self-efficacy and support, (c) salary and work engagement, and (d) resources and work engagement. Results of the simultaneous multiple regression analysis revealed the five independent variables combined to account for 17.6% of the variance in work engagement. Accordingly, the overall multiple regression was statistically significant, R2 = .176, F(5, 328) = 14.02, p< .001. Further results of the regression analysis indicated that support (p< .001), workload satisfaction (p< .001), self-efficacy (p< .001), and salary (p< .005) were statistically significant predictors of work engagement.	en_US
