The neutral acceptance to death was positively correlated with the work engagement (r=0.098, P<0.01) , the work engagement was negatively correlated with death avoidance (r=-0.177, P<0.01) .The neutral acceptance to death was positively correlated with the OCB, civic responsibility and responsible behavior (r=0.155, 0.161, 0.202, P<0.05 or 0.01).
