Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between meta-competence, job competence, and work engagement among social workers in local government. Using data collected from social workers in local government across the country, a PLS-based structural equation model analysis was conducted. The analysis revealed significant paths among meta-competence, job competence, and work engagement. Firstly, meta-competence had a positive impact on both job competence and work engagement. Secondly, the relationship between job competence and work engagement was also found to be positive. Thirdly, job competence acted as a partial mediator in the relationship between meta-competence and work engagement. Based on the research findings, the importance of competency development for social workers in local government was discussed, as well as integrated approaches to meta-competence and job competence in social work education.
