The crux of the COR theory outlines that people as individuals are driven towards acquiring, securing and fostering resources and these resources help them to avoid negative consequences. In line to this, the COR theory can be explained with an example that when employees have social support from coworkers, it helps them to showcase positive behaviors at work and avoid any negative consequences like emotions and workload. Moreover, such support would enable them to appreciate these resources and capitalize upon them. Another notion of COR theory is that people must invest in the resources also in order to avoid future complexities. This can be understood with the example of learning new skills to avoid workload and efficiency issues at work. The COR theory also advocates that value and capitalization of resources may rise particularly when the stressors at work are high ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Hobfoll</Author><Year>2003</Year><RecNum>28</RecNum><DisplayText>(Hobfoll<style face="italic"> et al.</style>, 2003; Okon, 2017)</DisplayText><record><rec-number>28</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="a2vzfdtdjz90t2ewtx4pfprv22dp09wp090z">28</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>Hobfoll, SE</author><author>Johnson, RJ</author><author>Ennis, N</author><author>Jackson, AP</author></authors></contributors><titles><title>Resource loss, resource gain, and emotional outcomes among inner city women</title><secondary-title>Journal of Personality and Social Psychology</secondary-title></titles><pages>632-643</pages><volume>84</volume><number>3</number><dates><year>2003</year></dates><isbn>0022-3514</isbn><urls></urls></record></Cite><Cite><Author>Okon</Author><Year>2017</Year><RecNum>69</RecNum><record><rec-number>69</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="a2vzfdtdjz90t2ewtx4pfprv22dp09wp090z">69</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>Okon, P.

The JD-R model is based on the explanation that every occupation and work setting encompass of some factors that can be categorized into two (i-e job resources and job demands). The JD-R model suggests that job resources like supervisor support and coworker support can enhance individuals` work engagement. The model suggests that social support resources help in boosting psychological work wellbeing (engagement). In addition, it also asserts that job resources are also crucial for negating the bad influences of job demands hence; there is a multi-facet role of job resources in relationship with work engagement. In parallel, the JD-R model campaigns that job demands such as workload and emotional demands result in burnout, stress and fatigue thus, damaging employees` work engagement. However, job resources may play a further role to negate the deleterious effects of job demands and help keep work engagement intact. The model also argues that the high level of work engagement boosts performance and enables employees to further boost their own resources in future as well ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Demerouti</Author><Year>2001</Year><RecNum>20</RecNum><DisplayText>(Demerouti<style face="italic"> et al.</style>, 2001)</DisplayText><record><rec-number>20</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="a2vzfdtdjz90t2ewtx4pfprv22dp09wp090z">20</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>Demerouti, E</author><author>Nachreiner, F</author><author>Bakker, AB</author><author>Schaufeli, WB</author></authors></contributors><titles><title>The job demands-resources model of burnout</title><secondary-title>Journal of Applied Psychology</secondary-title></titles><pages>499-512</pages><volume>86</volume><number>3</number><dates><year>2001</year></dates><isbn>0021-9010</isbn><urls></urls></record></Cite></EndNote>(Demerouti et al., 2001). The model suggests that every occupation and work role(s) comes with certain elements that either facilitate employees to bring more psychological resourcefulness at work or takes them to deplete their mental, physical and psychological energies. Thus, the JD-R model refers to an interesting interplay of job resources and job demands towards explaining individual engagement at work.

The author has termed them as ‘Developmental HR practices’ which includes employee training opportunities, career development opportunities and developmental performance appraisal, as the significant factors for boosting employee behaviors and outcomes. Kuvaas has outlined that developmental HR resources can significantly stimulate people and push them to work and give their best. Accordingly, Kuvaas has also indicated towards paucity of research on developmental resources for enriching employee attitudes. Importantly, in connection to work engagement, there is no sound empirical study available, investigating these developmental HR resources, thus highlighting serious theoretical gaps in the engagement literature requiring urgent empirical attention. Based on these suggested shortcomings and potential areas for further enhancement of the JD-R, the current study proposed and examined extension of the model through introducing developmental HR resources. Henceforth, the paper highlights for early researchers to understand the gaps in research on the developmental resource side. Emerging researchers based on the critical appraisal of the literature have a major gap in this regard to capitalize upon the opportunity and make scholarly contribution. CONCLUSION:Conclusively, the paper has worked to underline major developments on the topic of work engagement. The paper guides through providing a detailed view of findings of notable scholars on the topic, the prominent theories underlying the concept and the different factors that can influence it. The paper is a piece of effort for early scholars to understand the concept and underline what has been learned and revealed about it so far in order to plan future investigations accordingly. The paper aimed to inspire early researchers on the topic to engage so they can responsively plan and strategize for addressing the gaps. REFERENCES: ADDIN EN.REFLIST Albrecht, S.L., A.B.
