Abstract:

Full-time faculty and Academic Service Personnel (ASPs) play a pivotal role in supporting the core functions of universities, including teaching, research, and administrative activities. Their contributions are critical to ensuring the smooth operation of institutions and the achievement of their academic goals. The study employed a quantitative methodology and utilized a descriptive research design. The study revealed that organizational empowerment significantly influenced various aspects of work engagement. Studies conducted during the period emphasized different facets of empowerment, including autonomy, skill development, meaningful work, and social support, as crucial factors in fostering employee engagement. A positive relationship existed between organizational empowerment and work engagement across various industries and cultural contexts. Researchers concluded that empowering leadership, supportive organizational climates, and participative decision-making processes served as key drivers of employee engagement.
