how to address the following limitations: The major delimitation of this study is the use of a single home care agency. It does not include all of the home care agencies in the United States, which leaves some agencies underrepresented due to the accessible population. The study only looks at home care professionals. The study only looks at the factors of engagement and happiness through the lens of dedication and absorption. The survey is a cross-sectional single-time survey.

Previous studies have assessed satisfaction with an individual's life. However, we know little about whether specific domains of life satisfaction might be responsible for longitudinally driving better health and well-being outcomes. These domains include satisfaction with living conditions, family life, financial situation, total household income, and work engagement. There is evidence that some domains of life satisfaction may contribute more than others to overall life satisfaction in adults and that satisfaction in some domains may change throughout an individual's lifetime (KIM et al., 2021).

This study only accounts for those who complete the survey. There is no method to include non-respondents. The study does not question professionals' support or satisfaction with their supervisor or management team. This may be a factor for some concerning work engagement and happiness. Second, the study utilized self-report measurements, which have limitations consistent with any self-report instruments, including the possibility of individuals' biased responses increasing errors in reliability and validity. Last, the study included two predictive variables that might predict overall life satisfaction: work engagement and happiness; however, these are not the only valid variables that might predict overall life satisfaction in adults in the United States. For this study, other variables are not included, but future researchers might consider including different variables to predict overall life satisfaction in adults in the United States.
