Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the Faculty Engagement in business management programs. The level of engagement among faculty members of leading colleges is measured with respect to dimensions like Core self-evaluation, Workplace Optimism, Individual performance and Job Satisfaction. Data was collected from a sample of 208 faculties of MBA and BBA departments with the help of a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the SPSS 19.0 and AMOS 16.0. Results indicate that core self-evaluation of the faculty members lead to higher levels of employee engage-ment that higher levels of engagement lead to improved workplace optimism and that improved optimism in turn leads to higher levels of individual performance and job satisfaction. The paper provides experiential support for the implementation of man-agement programs that promote core self-evaluation, employee engagement, and workplace optimism for the purpose of enhancing the performance levels of individual faculties and improve their job satisfaction.
