The aim of this research was to study the relative contribution of quantum management to job engagement dimensions among the employees of physical education departments of Iranian medical sciences universities. Methods: This was an applied, descriptive, and correlational study. The study subjects consisted of 220 employees working in physical education departments of medical sciences universities of the country in 2014. The sample size was calculated as 132 using the Krejcie and Morgan’s method. The stratified random sampling method was used according to the total population of this research. Data collection tools consisted of a researcher-made quantum management questionnaire (21 items) and a job engagement scale (17 items). The regression test was used for analyzing data. Results: The improvement of employees’ job energy, job absorption, and job dedication were predicted by quantum seeing, quantum thinking, quantum feeling, quantum knowing, quantum acting, quantum being, and quantum trust. Moreover, quantum management had a positive and significant correlation with job energy, job absorption, and job dedication dimensions (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: The use of quantum management methods could be helpful in improving and strengthening the employees’ job engagement in organizations, especially physical education departments of Iranian medical sciences universities.
