Abstract: The aims of this study are to measure the influence of person-organization fit to work engagement, the influence of person-job fit to work engagement and the influence of both person-organization fit and person-job fit to work engagement. 411 policemen were involved as the participants of this cross-sectional study. The results show the suitability of individual characteristics with the characteristics of the organization (person-organization fit) and the demands of the job as policemen (person-job fit) affect the level of their work engagement. In addition to that, this study also shows the career stage and tenure of the policemen give impact toward the level of their work engagement. This study could serve as guidelines for policymakers in the implementation of human resource policies, for instance in the selection and training strategy and program.
