This study evaluated 64 employees of Hotel Pelangi Malang with a fixed and contract status. Using proportional sampling, and a sample of 55 respondents was obtained. Data was collected by survey, interview, and documentation. The results of this study are (1) the conditions of work environment, work engagement, and self efficacy of the Hotel Pelangi Malang employees fall in the good/high category, (2) the work environment has a significant effect on work engagement, and (3) self efficacy is not a significant moderator variable on the work engagement of Hotel Pelangi Malang employees.
