Abstract
Job resources is a consistent contributor to employee wellbeing aiding employees to contribute to organizations achieving their strategic goals. Job resources are also particularly important in work environments that have an array of challenges that may negatively affect employees. The present study established that the following job resources: recognition and praise, intra-team effectiveness and personal development predict the strategic connection that employees have towards their organizations. This cross–sectional study was conducted in a South African transport organization (n = 616 responses). The results of the study indicated that personal development accounted for the most variance in strategic connection, with intra-team effectiveness accounting for the second most variance and recognition and praise, the least variance. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge on job resources, organizational identification and strategic connection. It further provides guidance to line and HR managers on the role of job resources in enhancing employee strategic connection.
