Occupational Mission Scale, Psychological Capital Questionnaire and Job Involvement Questionnaire were used to investigate their sense of occupational mission, psychological capital and job engagement. RESULTS: The total score of occupational mission was(48.6±6.9); the total score of psychological capital was(87.1±11.8); and the total score of work engagement was(79.8±11.4). Occupational mission was positively correlated with job engagement [correlation coefficient(r) was 0.607, P<0.01].The self-efficacy, hope, tenacity and optimism were positively correlated with job engagement(r were 0.526, 0.544, 0.573, 0.415, respectively, P<0.01). The mediating effect of psychological capital on occupational mission and work engagement was 0.15, accounting for 26.8% of the total effect.
