| Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
| This study aimed to evaluate job-related affective well-being, perceived supervisor support
and positive feedback as contributing factors to work engagement of lecturers in the context
two countries in the South East Asia. A total of 134 lecturers of one university in Malaysia
and one university in Indonesia were recruited through simple random sampling. The
research instruments were Job Affective Well-Being Scale, Survey of Perceived Supervisor
Support and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, while the statement of positive feedback was
given in a hardcopy form or via personal e-mail. Multiple regression analysis showed that job
affective well-being (β = 0.49, p = .01) and perceived supervisor support (β = 0.27, p = .01)
made significant contribution to the prediction of work engagement. However, positive
feedback statement (β = 0.02, p = .75) was not a significant predictor of work engagement.
Therefore, a better strategy of the implementation of positive feedback should be considered
in future so that the factor of why positive feedback may not have contributed to work
engagement of lecturers can be indicated. Moreover, future studies should incorporate the
elements of trust and respect in supervisory support to explore their roles in maintaining
employee’s work engagement at workplace. The main implication of this research is it that
the management of tertiary education should practice measures to increase perceived
supervisor’s support among lecturers so that there will be more engagement at workplace. |
