These were my thoughts as well. The article has nothing to say about being engaged at work. It's all non-work suggestions.

The best interpretation I could infer was that if you are engaged outside work, you'll be able to be more engaged at work?

My feelings about cause-and-effect are the opposite. When I'm disengaged at work, I'm less engaged outside of work. I'll try to do hobbies and stuff outside of work but it makes the contrast more drastic, which makes work less bearable.
