Abstract
Previous research has indicated positive relationships between sensory processing and burnout, but the links between sensory processing and work engagement, the conceptual opposite of burnout, have yet to be explored. A survey consisting of the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale was dispersed through multiples outlets. Among notable correlations, sensation seeking had significant positive correlations with all three subfacets of work engagement. Analysis of the data indicated no significant differences between the average scores of work engagement subfacets between participants with typical (interior 68% of a normal distribution) and atypical (exterior 32%) sensory processing profiles, nor were there significant differences in the correlations between the work engagement subfacets and sensory processing patterns across typicality. Limitations and future directions are discussed, primarily the need to investigate these relationships in a neurodiverse population.
