Data were collected from 83 lecturers in Yogyakarta. The moderated regression analysis was used to analyze the data. The result of the study showed : 1) job demands has negative correlation with work engagement (r= -0.073, p<0.01), 2) job resources has positive correlation with work engagement (r=0.407, p<0.01), 3) job resource has significant role as moderating variables between job demands and work engagement (R=0.533, p<0.01).
