Nexus Between Personality Traits And Work Engagement Among Faculty Members Of Government Colleges Of Pakistan: Mediating Role Of Psychological Empowerment

Abstract

The aim of this research was to examine the influence of personality traits (P.Ts) on work engagement (W.E), as well as to assess the role of psychological empowerment (P.E) as a mediator between P.Ts and W.E. Data were gathered from 652 faculty members employed at government institutions located in Punjab, Baluchistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Sindh for this study. The data was analyzed using SPSS and Amos. The hypotheses were tested using confirmatory factor analysis. The results of correlation revealed a statistically significant association between P.Ts and W.E (r =.367), P.Ts and P.E (r =.512), and P.E and W.E (r =.390). Structural equation modeling verified that P.E partly acted as a mediator in the association between P.Ts and W.E.
