Human Resources’ job engagement is one of the most significant reasons for the upsurge of productivity in organizations. This study investigated the moderating role of social capital in the relationship between the attachment style of journalists with unproductive attendance and their job engagement. The present study was descriptive-correlational in terms of its methodology and applied in terms of its purpose. The data were collected by electronic questionnaires. The population of this research comprised the journalists and correspondents working in active sports publications and journals. The sample size was estimated at 90 with respect to Henseler et al.’s (2009) rule. However, for further confidence, the electronic questionnaires were sent to 124 participants, determined by the concurrent use of the convenience and snowball sampling methods, and, finally, 107 completed questionnaires were collected. The partial least squares method and Smart-PLS software were employed for hypotheses testing. The results of the research showed that the Safe attachment style had a significant relationship with job engagement, and the unsafe attachment style had a significant relationship with unproductive attendance. Likewise, social capital moderated the relationship of the attachment style of the sports journalists and correspondents to their job engagement and unproductive attendance.
