Purpose

The study aims to investigate the impact of “decent work” dimensions on faculty members’ work engagement levels in the higher education institutions in India.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were obtained from 293 faculty members working in higher education institutes in India. The proposed study hypotheses were tested by deploying the statistical technique of multiple regression analysis using statistical package for social sciences Version-24.

Findings

Results demonstrated that of the five dimensions of “decent work,” only “access to health care” and “complementary values” were significant predictors of work engagement. “Adequate compensation,” “free time and rest” and “safe interpersonal working conditions” as dimensions of “decent work” were not found to be significantly related to work engagement.

Research limitations/implications

Findings encourage education policymakers to implement a “decent work” policy for faculty members with greater emphasis on ensuring workplace-fit and provision of adequate health-care facilities to keep the workforce engaged.

Originality/value

It is one of the few studies conducted in the South-Asian context that highlight “decent work” as a crucial job resource, useful in enhancing the work engagement of faculty members in higher education institutions.

“体面工作”维度会导致工作投入吗？印度高等教育机构的经验证据

目的

该研究旨在调查“体面工作”维度对印度高等教育机构教职员工工作投入水平的影响。

设计/方法/方法

数据来自在印度高等教育机构工作的 293 名教职员工。所提出的研究假设通过使用社会科学第 24 版统计软件包部署多元回归分析的统计技术进行了测试。

发现

结果表明，在“体面工作”的五个维度中，只有“获得医疗保健”和“互补价值”是工作投入的重要预测因素。没有发现作为“体面工作”维度的“足够的补偿”、“空闲时间和休息”和“安全的人际工作条件”与工作投入有显着相关。

研究限制/影响

调查结果鼓励教育政策制定者为教职员工实施“体面工作”政策，更加强调确保工作场所适合和提供足够的医疗保健设施以保持劳动力的参与。

原创性/价值

这是在南亚背景下开展的少数研究之一，强调“体面工作”是一项重要的工作资源，有助于提高高等教育机构教职员工的工作参与度。
