      ab: Introduction: Work engagement among nurse case managers is central to safe, efficient, person-centred care, yet organisational and team-level factors that support engagement or mitigate burnout remain poorly synthesised. Aim: To map organisational and team-level strategies that enhance work engagement or reduce burnout among nurse case managers and aligned roles, as well as to consider their applicability to Gulf health systems. Method: We conducted a scoping review in accordance with the Arksey and O'Malley framework as refined by Levac et al. and reported it in line with PRISMA-ScR and PRISMA-S guidance. Six databases and targeted sources were searched for English-language records published between 2015 and 2025. Two reviewers independently screened titles/abstracts and full texts against predefined eligibility criteria, charted data using a piloted form, and synthesised findings thematically against Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) domains. Results: Of 303 records identified, 248 were screened after deduplication, and 11 studies were included. Across nine health systems, findings were mapped to three JD-R domains: job resources, job demands, and personal resources. The most recurrent resource-related strategies involved structural supports, staffing stability, coordination infrastructure, and supportive leadership or team practices. Key demands included role complexity, high caseloads, coordination workload, discharge pressures, and staffing instability. Personal-resource approaches were fewer and mainly involved stress management, communication, and reflective practice interventions. Engagement was infrequently measured directly, and only one empirical intervention study originated from a Gulf health system. Conclusions: This JD-R-informed scoping review suggests that strengthening structural, staffing, and coordination resources, alongside supportive leadership and team climates, may be important for sustaining engagement and limiting burnout among nurse case managers. However, these findings should be interpreted as exploratory signals that map the current evidence landscape rather than definitive evidence of effectiveness. Multi-component JD-R-informed bundles in Gulf region health systems should therefore be prioritised for context-sensitive co-design, piloting, and evaluation.
