    abstract = {The rapid development of hotels in Malaysia has pressured hotel players to 
  be more aggressive in attaining greater market share and customer loyalty. Hotels 
  need to strive harder to unshackle the talents of their employees in order to 
  accomplish peak performance. Recent efforts have highlighted the importance 
  of research engagement which focuses on human strengths and optimal functioning. 
  Despite its potential functional outcomes, research on the prevalence and antecedents 
  of research engagement remains scarce. Therefore, the objective of this study 
  is to create a model linking personal resources (organizational-based self-esteem 
  and self-monitoring) as predictors of research engagement among customer-contact 
  employees within the Malaysian hotel industry. In addition, co-worker support 
  has been proposed as a moderator in the earliear mentioned relationship. A review 
  of the literature to support the suggested model is provided.}
