Abstract

Work engagement is a much-coveted attribute in every organization as it has established relationships with performance, productivity, commitment, etc. We investigate the effects of job demands, personal resources, and job resources (specific to higher education institutes) and demographic characteristics of teachers on work engagement. Data was collected by 206 teachers of HEIs of India using standardized measures and was analyzed using SPSS 23.0. Significant correlations were found between some job demands, personal resources, and job resources. Stepwise regression revealed that optimism (personal resource), opportunity for development and social support (job resources), and work pressure (job demand) significantly and positively affect the levels of work engagement. A unique aspect of the result pertaining to teaching in HEIs of India is that the job demand of work pressure created positive effects on the levels of work engagement.
