Collected 277 valid questionnaires and used SPSS 22.0 to conduct data analysis.Results Work engagement had a significant positive influence on work performance. Psychological capital played a significant mediating role and the four sub-dimensions of psychological capital played a partially significant mediating role.Conclusion Emergency physicians would have different psychological states at work and show different work engagement, which would have different influence on their work performance.
