This study aimed to examine the antecedents and consequences of job engagement among the employees of state universities in Tabriz. Statistical population included all 1021 employees of the state universities of Tabriz. Using stratified random sampling, 151 employees were selected as the sample. To gather data, seven standard questionnaires were used. To analyze data and test the relationships of the variables for a structural model, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling methods were used. Results showed that there was a positive and causal correlation between job fit, reward and recognition, and job engagement (r=1.51, r=1.11, p<1.10). Based on the results, a positive and causal correlation was found between the consequences of discretionary efforts (r =1.61), ethics (r =1.65), job performance (r =1.01), and job engagement; while, job engagement had a negative and causal correlation with intention to quit (r = -1.16).
