Abstract

This study analyzes the relationship between labor engagement and administrative management among the directors of the Provincial Municipality of Tacna. A quantitative, non-experimental, and relational-level methodology was applied, using the UWES questionnaire to measure work engagement and a structured questionnaire for administrative management. The census sample consisted of 34 directors. The results show a moderate and significant correlation (t = 0.457) between the two variables. It was found that 44.1% of directors present a medium level of engagement, and 50% perceive administrative management at a medium level. It is concluded that strengthening engagement can improve the efficiency of institutional management.
