The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between job demands, job resources, burnout, and engagement of management staff at a platinum mine in the North West Province. A cross-sectional survey design was used. The study population ( N = 310) consisted of managers at the platinum mine. The Maslach Burnout Inventory – General Survey, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, and the Job Demands-Resources Scale were administered. The results revealed that exhaustion was predicted by workload, job insecurity and a lack of resources, while cynicism was predicted by lack of organisational support and advancement opportunities. Vigour was predicted by organisational support. Dedication was predicted by organisational support and high workload. Engagement was predicted by organisational support.

• Positive organizational psychology, behavior, and scholarship: A review of the emerging literature and evidence base (2010, background): “Although work engagement may have various meanings, much of work engagement research included in our analysis follows Job DemandsResources model (JD-R model; Hakanen, 2002; Korunka, Kubicek, Schaufeli, & Hoonakker, 2009; Rothmann & Joubert, 2007).”
• Work engagement, burnout and related constructs as predictors of turnover intentions : original research (2010, background): “Rothmann and Joubert (2007) reported similar findings in a South African study and Knudsen, Ducharme and Roman (2006) confirmed a positive link between emotional exhaustion and intentions to quit in a study conducted on a sample of therapeutic counsellors.”
• A structural model of student well-being (2014, background): “Research (e.g., Rothmann & Joubert, 2007; Rothmann & Rothmann, 2010) showed that engagement is strongly associated with the availability of (study) resources and not with demanding tasks.”
• Factors associated with employee engagement in South Africa : original research (2010, background): “Rothmann and Joubert (2007) found that organisational support and growth opportunities in the job were strong predictors of employee engagement in the mining industry.”
• Psychological Well-Being and Resilience as Predictors of First-Year Students' Academic Performance (2013, background): “In South African studies, the Cronbach alfa coefficients varied from 0.86 to 0.88 for Exhaustion and from 0.74 to 0.80 for Cynicism (Rothmann, 2008; Rothmann & Joubert, 2007).”
