Abstract

The abstract of the paper "Employee Engagement and Organizational Commitment in Academia" delves into the intricate relationship between employee engagement and organizational commitment within the context of higher education institutions. This study investigates how academic employees' engagement levels correlate with their commitment to the organization, exploring factors such as job satisfaction, work-life balance, and professional development opportunities. It highlights that a positive relationship exists between these two constructs, with engaged employees demonstrating higher levels of organizational commitment. The research further examines the mediating role of perceived organizational support and the moderating effects of organizational culture. Findings indicate that promoting a supportive and nurturing work environment fosters both employee engagement and commitment, ultimately contributing to the overall success and sustainability of academic institutions.
